I am getting ready to order a front end rebuild kit (tire rods / bushings / etc..) and have been looking at the kits through Ground up and NPD. I would like to stay in the same price range (250-300), but wanted to get some opinions from those who have already done this.
Is this the best way to go? What other options (close to same costs) are out there?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you

I think the best way to go is using all spicer stuff, you can get it through your local NAPA. If you don't mind the wait, you can go through rockauto and get it a good bit cheaper.
BTW, where in KS are you?

I agree! :yes:
My local mom and pop auto parts store carries the Dana/Spicer line of suspension parts. I've established a good relationship with the folks behind the counter over the years. In return, great service at a very reasonable price. :cool:
These people actually KNOW the parts they sell.
Not like the large chain parts store that only can handle what a computer tells them. :(

by chance did you price it a oriellys or autozone. you can look at it all on line. i used autodrive stuff. i dont think i will drive it enough to wear it all out. but moog stuff is the best and cost more. good luck
