I'm looking to replace all of the suspension in my '72 Cutlass. Anyone suggest where to get a suspension kit from? I'm looking at springs, bushings, ball joints, etc., not looking for high end stuff just stock.

 

Rockauto or your local auto parts store can supply you with everything you need. I'd use Moog parts.


Rob did a nice thread on his project.

RockAuto!

 

I've ordered parts from Rock Auto before. They have good parts and great prices.

When I did the suspension on my 64 Olds 98 I got control arm bushings, ball joints, stabilizer bar bushings and outer tie rod ends from PST. They had decent customer service and an ok price; however, I remember having to jump through hoops of fire to order it.

 

They have kits but its usually less expensive purchasing parts individually. Moog is a good choice that wont break the bank. Summit had the best price on Moog springs when I got them last spring. Everything else Rock Auto had the best price at the time

 

I got a good deal at rockauto for my Moog parts. I was able to also have the complete front kit and some of the small back parts all shipped for 10 bucks (all 30lbs worth).
If you will be keeping your car a long time and want it right, go Moog. A little more than the no-name or low name cheapies, but worth it.

 

Amazon beats almost everybody's price on Moog, and sometimes you can get local places to price match them. I buy almost all of my car parts from Amazon now; I just got a Cardone remanufactured steering box for $126 - the exact same p/n at O'Reilly was $100 more.

 

Mike, that is a good deal!

I've never ordered car parts from Amazon, but I've seen them advertised. My wife orders so much other stuff from Amazon I should place an order for car parts sometime.

 

I would if upgrades are what you are after search for old ho or Malibu racing kits. I have a complete kit and braking and handling are up to late 90,s standards and they hold up a long time from my experiences and are very durable plus as easy as changing oem parts. I forgot to add that the brakes are from praise dyno brake in texas though. these kits nowadays are very expensive. I would if you cannot find this kit designed by ken crocie a real racer that was scienced out through racing experience use moog only with edelbrock arms and no hop bars by them in the rear. I also use 1 and 3/8 sway bars by ho or Malibu.
