You have a PM.

Thanks for the PM. Appreciate the input.

Most of the stuff in the steering linkage is often Moog or TRW. Most of what is seen in A arm bushings is Del-A-Lum or other Delrin stuff, although there are some using bearings. There's a longer upper ball joint that helps geometry a lot, it's commonly found in circle track stuff. Springs depend on the combination.

This is happens a lot, and it is very frustrating.

I monitor these tech forums to try and learn.

I don't see why people think information is so secret that they can't post it on the forum for all to read.

Sean Kennedy I hear you. I also wonder the same question. If someone is willing to help one person then why not all.

Gary Wisecarver sells the upper/lower control arm bearings and a quality aftermarket tie rod tube will do. I think Hotchkis and Global West sells them. Ball Joints were already mentioned above

Moog will have the rest.
Pitman arm
Idler arm
Centerlink
Inner/Outer Tie Rods

One last comment.

If ANY of you see me at the Div 3 races (NHRA/IHRA) and need help just stop by and ask. I'll help out as much as possible and I hope any info will be worth a damn to you, but no guarantees it will help

I find it easier to do front end work (springs, control arms) with the motor in.

The extra weight works to your advantage.
