Lets beat this horse some more, update what is Currently out there for older "B" cars like my 65 Coronet.
My lowers starting to show wear and some crumbling but still has been holding alignment but I know they are dyeing.
I found after getting my shop to install new strut rods from Firm Feel and Prothane bushings on them and installing QA1 upper control arms
which I could only get 2 degrees of caster and was hoping for 4 to 6 but still drives 90 % better.
It was already down so had to install what I had to get it off his rack and the lower bushings were still centered pretty much.
I have used Poly of any brand in the past and too much road noise and stiffness been there got a Tee shirt.
So looking into stock type rubber and it has been all over with quality issues with all brands looks like.
A new on I was not familiar with is MEVOTECH MS254121 $13.51 Ea.
Moog K791 showing $5.51
Quick Steer showing $4.11
Other than some NOS which are probably 40 to 50 years old is all I can find.
On that subject I worked for a WD 15 years and when you change brands and get re-boxed who knows what's actually in there.
All internet pricing but these cost are nothing compared to labor involved and then maybe if you loose your crap shoot
having to do them again in a short time possibly if they turn out to be junk.
Some one that has done these in say last 6 months to a year how is it going ?
Thanks for the feedback and or crap I can take it either way.
Awesome FBBO board !
