Alright I am in the process of redoing the front end. I was wondering who has bought a new hardware set? What did u buy? How did it work for you? I need to buy the set that has body mounts.


thanks guys!

 

Johnnynitro did the one with the 2nd gen clip. I am going to do mine next fall so I am interested in this question as well.

 

Mine is all new, I'll try to find out where the guy got them from.

 

I know rick's has them for 2 something But I wanna know how they work good or bad?

 

have you tried classic industries yet?

 

no I havent but I would like some feed back about the product

 

I replaced the ball joints from my local NAPA auto parts store. The Body bushings are from Energy Suspension (Hyperflex) Great stuff. I used them on my '67 as well. Nice tight feel. No more sway. I just bought the bushing kit from Energy Suspension too and installed that this weekend. It's been tricky for me 'cause i have to keep it straight when I'm buying parts for the '71 clip and the '69 body.
So, I got Body Mounts for the '69 and they work fine with the '71 subframe. The control arm bushings are of course all '71 and look great now that it's together. The Energy Suspension kits I bought from PAW. All of this should be online...soon.

 

I've said this before in another thread and I will always use these guys. Global-West make the best stuff out there (aside from one off custom pieces.

No squeaks. Less problems with bumpsteer. Will almost never wear out. No binding.....and so on.

They're a little more pricey, but the old saying "you get what you pay for" applies here too.

so they have the bushing that are underneath body where the subframe connects to the body?

 

PAW does have them I know. I just bought 'em. I guess you can go to Global but for the same stuff (interlocking body mounts), you can get them from PAW for $98. And the upper and lower control arm bushings are $57.
So compare prices I guess. Th Energy Suspension stuff is really good.
