Im looking to redo the front end on my G body , and would like to know about what you like, for front bushings. Ball joints too.

Thanks !

Global West.

Del A Lum for the bushings, and Moog or TRW for the ball joints. If you can find a circle track supplier, they've got tall upper ball joints that will help the front end alignment when you launch the car. You might want to look at the control arm shafts that Moog and TRW make for wrecked cars, they allow a greater range of adjustments. You can probably get a lot more positive caster, and keep your camber and toe in closer to ideal at the same time. Check the holes in the frame where the lower control arm bushing bolts go.

That's what i was thinking too. Thanks to you both !!

I just bought the Afco kit, bushings and low friction ball joints. They also have a 1/2 longer top ball joint. The only thing I don't like about the Afco bushings is the top bushing is just a solid bushing with a grease fitting.

The Global West bushings, when installed properly, they will not bind and move freely.

I'm just using polygraphite bushings on the upper and lower control arms.

Prothane makes some great, easy moving bushings. Look at their website. Dyno

For drag racing applications, I will always suggest racers to not use poly graphite or urethane bushings since with time, they will deform and deteriorate. If was to to suggest a bushing, I would rather use, due to its properties, Nylon.
