I read through this thread to check what you all are using for Front End Rebuild Kits - looks like Summit & FirmFeel. ...then maybe JEGS, NAPA, RockAuto if I want to piecemeal it.. or Moog of course.
https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/2373717/Searchpage/1/Main/199190/Words/%2Bballjoint/Search/true/anyone-sell-lower-rebuild-parts-thats-not-in-kit.html#Post2373717
Anyone have experience with PST lately? Any other sources I should consider?
..beside asking about sourcing a new kit - I just want to share that the cheapo Front End Kit I bought from PST did pretty well. One upper ball joint has finally worn to the point of replacement, the rubber bushings are squeaking more than I like.. so it will all be replaced.
..but the PST parts lasted me 18 years - about 32,000 miles. - Art

See if you can find some TRW parts.As good as the old Moogs maybe better.Moog quality isnt as good as it was.We have PST in 2 vehicles.Mines at least 15 years old.Had one lower go bad because my son didnt grease it.Still tight.Rocky

Thanks guys, OK, so PST doesn't stand out with a terrible reputation or anything that I've missed. I'll compare with the offerings from the vendors and go from there.
Hey Rhett!! How are you and the Barracuda? ... I got pics of you going down the 1/4mile at LVD Musclepalooza last year I think - or the year before - I didn't have a chance to track you down in the paddock area tho.
Cheers, - Art

I think the last PST kit I bought was in 91. Back then quality US made parts were abundant. Today, who knows what's coming from where. I'd go with Doctor Diff.
