I rebuilt the suspension on my 64 Olds 98 with parts from PST. Their kit was ok; however, if I had to do it over again I would probably purchase a rebuild kit from Kanter. Their prices are a little higher but their customer service is top notch. Not that I got bad service from PST. It just seemed that PST marketed their products toward muscle car enthusiasts as opposed to classic car enthusiasts... if there is a difference.

looks like a reply directed toward the poster of the question... pfft ahahaha I do however agree. If I had a uestion about OEM equipment, they had to discuss or even drop the ball,a nd give me a day or two. with the chevelle it was more along the lines of *do you want it delivered to your home*

When it comes to front end parts, I usually pay the money for TRW or Moog. I've done the "white box" rebuild before, and I've had those brand new ball joints go bad in a year. Not worth the hassle.

I'm with Joe P on this one. Even old leftover stock GM dealership stuff, I've found to have too much play in. I order my suspension parts from Spohn.net they have yet to send me junk. I always get nice fresh parts from them.
