Need to rebuild the front end on the bird. Who has the parts as a kit to rebuild it? Other than the Tbird suppliers.

Heard a great one liner the other day, "We are 14 hours ahead, but 10 years behind!"
Just thought I would throw that one in.

The kit I bought was for a 52 mainline,so it was a king pin suspension.The bushings were very sloppy and the rubber sheilds were rotten from the start.They took 6 months to send the actual king pins after several calls and lot of heart ache.I think the old worn out peices wre in better shape.

I have talked to several folks who said the same thing about missing parts and not fitting properly. But, then on the other hand some say they are great. They seem to be the only ones around that sell kits and offer a life time warranty. I'm just looking for another source to compare . That might not be possible.
