OK, now that I have your curosity piqued.... Has anyone bought a kit to re-do their front end and/or rear shackles? I am at the stage on my '55 Merc wagon where the ch***is needs to be redone. All the rubber pieces need replacing. I will also probably put in new ball joints while I'm in there. Who has the better kit? I am also gonna need windshield and door rubber. Again, who makes the better fitting parts? Thanks! Glenn
I have had really good luck with: www.cl***icautoparts.com check them out and send for the catalog it has over 300 pages,then call in the order instead of ordering online so you can check inventory at that time.Dennis Carpenter and Mac's both nailed me for extra shipping on back orders and that ****s! As far as the rubber goes most vendors will ship Dennis Carpenter products,Steele will cost slightly more but quality is A+ from what I have seen.
You can usually find kits on ebay as well, and the price is pretty nice. Here's upper and lowers for a little over a hundred.
