65 Coronet Front End

[tlwesch]

Ok guys...working on getting my coronet more road worthy. I have new tires for it. And want to redo the front suspension and steering. This is what I bought:

Upper and lower ball joints
Upper control arm shaft kit
Upper control arm bushing set

Inner and Outer tie rods
Adjusting sleeves

Did I miss anything?

Also I had a guy qoute me 300 to replace everything. Does that sound reasonable?

If this includes re-alignment... Seems reasonable. Don't forget lower control arm bushings.

I'd get lower and upper control arm bushings. may need cam bolts too if they break. Strut rod bushings. idler arm. Pitman arm. torsion bar seals while there out. 300 sounds cheap if doing everything. Get good parts I recommend moog.

Ok guys....having lots of trouble with this. I can't find a pitman arm that will fit. Seems like all the pitman arms I find is for one with a 1" shaft. I have the 1 1/4" output shaft. Can anybody help?

Maybe your steering box is not original to the car.

CHECK ROCKAUTO THEY HAVE ALL THE STUFF AND GOOD PRICES ON ALL THE FRONT END PARTS

Pitman arm is out of stock and doesn't say if it will fit the gearbox with a 1 1/4 shaft.

Think 1 1/4" is for C bodies.
