Called PST for their front end rebuild kit. Great price at $159 with free shipping but the order won't ship for 3 days form the East coast. 8 day to get to me. Said it takes 3 days to process order because they ship 200 orders a day.
$85 to ship fed X for 3 day delivery after the order is processed = 6 days. Anyone know of another place I can order a kit that may be closer to the west coast. thanxs david

I bought all the parts needed to totally rebuild the front end on my '72 from my favorite local parts store...balljoints, tierods, sleeves, control arm bushings, idler arm, sway bushings and end links.
Used all high quality Spicer (Dana) products! No shipping and instant delivery.

I bought the PST stuff before and thought the parts were junk. Do yourself a favor and buy from the local auto parts place and get moog.

Local outlet is good. Also Original Parts Group is on the west coast.

Cancelled my order this afternoon. Bought local. Pulled out engine a few weeks ago to fix low oil pressure problem. Found bad oil pump. While the engine was out decided to freshen it up. Motor ready to go back together. Steamed engine compartment and found upper A-arm bushings shot. Took out uppers and lowers and will rebuild front end. Need to get car together for the Fathers Day show in Pismo Beach or be out $50 entry and take the harassment from my buddies if car is a no-show. one step forward and two steps back. db
