    Not sure the exact range, but go with a 72 kit. I got their master rebuild kit. Comes with complete upper arms insead of the shaft kit. Did not come with anything I didn't need. Still have to get the right mav-specific tie rod ends & idler arm. Master Rebuild Kit

    Thanks!

    Personally If it isn't a moog part I won't install it on a customers car or my car. I bought that PST kit crap and it all wore out in less than 10k, every bit of it.

    It's ok Allan, he's the only one I know that's been working on his car longer than me (of the people I know personally). Of course, I think his will actually get finished first, because I keep working on the wrong car. :coco:

    Okay... you got our attention.
    Now tell us where to get a Moog full on suspension rebuild kit. Preferably in poly for me, and rubber for others.
    Thanks!

    I'd like to see the parts sheet. I'm in the market for a full suspension kit, and I don't want to spend the money on something that will prematurely wear out.

    Any other kits out there that you've had good luck with? Anybody had a different experience with PST than 1badmav has had?

    I wish I had talked to 1badmav before I got my kit. I don't have enough miles on my car yet to tell. I did get the front end kit from them though. There are a few other things I need so maybe I will get them elsewere. I only have about 1000 miles on the PST kit.

    I bought the PST kit in poly and cant say enough about it, unless you want to hear how much I hate it. I wont ever buy another. I replaced the ball joints with moog in just a couple of weeks. Moog dont make kits that I'm aware of. You will have to order individual parts.

    Thanks for the replies. It sure would be convenient to buy a kit, but you guys have convinced me that's not the way to go.

    Looks like most people think Moog is the best. Have you guys bought Moog locally, or have you found a good source on the net?
