1956 Suspension parts

I have the front end off of my 56 Super 88. Does anyone know a good source for a rebuild kit to replace all of the parts in the front suspension. I was looking for control arm pivot shafts, idler arm, tie rod ends, and other parts.

Kanter Auto products www.kanter.com has complete rebuild kits for our old oldsmobiles... They seem reasonably priced considering not much for these cars is

Bit late on the reply (new to the forum), but I've also found kits on Kanter's site for my 52 S88 Coupe....also, NAPA may be a good alternative, but they may not have every part you need, so I'm trying to piece it out and see if Kanter's deluxe kit for $440 is the best way to go as far as price and having all the parts needed.
