I'm looking to rebuild my front suspension. What do you guys sugest. Go with stock rubber or polygrafite or something elso?

I just ordered the MOOG kit from OPGI.com. It is a more expensive kit but I was told the Moog stuff is American made and will last much longer than the stuff made overseas. SOME people complain of using polygraphite in the front because it can sqeak b/c the front suspension moves so much but some people don't have a problem.

Thanks! smile.gif

I replaced mine with polyurethane. Only been on the road 4 months but no complaints, no squeaks. Other than the mushy power steering it feels pretty good.

Polyurethane or solid in the front-NOT Polygraphite. Rod ends or Johnny Joints in the rear.

Bob, we should make this one a sticky too---it gets asked at least once a week.
