Bushing and Ball Joint Kit??

[RAR1TY]

I'm also looking to replace ALL of the front bushings, ball joints and tie Rod ends in my Typhoon. Instead of buying seperate, someone must make a complete kit no? Any suggestions? What company/brand?? I saw something on Andys Autosport?? Wasn't very straightforward tho.. Thanks!

Cheers,
Bryan A

But Moog or you will doing them again shortly. Our trucks eat up front end parts as it is.

I installed the PST Polygraphite when I first got my truck, drove it for 6 years, 50,000 miles with no issues.

I have polly's on my truck as well. Quite a project. If you're gonna do all that work change the idler as well. Then there's the pitman arm. Integral ball joint. To replace it means you're replacing the entire arm. Someone chime in here, can that be done without removing the steering box? I don't think so. I removed my box so never even attempted.

Pitman arm can be done with removing the box.

I found Raybetos Professional to be of very high quality for ball joints. I used Moog for tie rods, pitman and idler arms as a second best (cheaper, but still better than most) option, as for what I use my truck for, they are good and easy enough to replace. The ball joints I didn't want to ever have to do again, thats why I chose the Raybestos Pro's. - No regrets. I personally believe the Raybestos Pro's are a step up from Moog, which are a step up from many others out there. (Just my opinion).
Bushes, I used Energy suspension Poly and when I did them, I noticed a BIG improvement, although the original rubber bushes were absolutely wasted. I would buy the black ones if I were to do it again, as I believe they are impregnated with graphite.

This is very accurate information We use the Raybestos pro stuff in all of our builds and control arm sets and energy bushings. Moog was the best, once upon a time. They have been bought by federal mogul I believe, and the quality of their parts are not what they used to be, 15-20 years ago. HTH

I used Raybestos for the bushings on my new control arms and they are insanely nice. Went with Moog on everything else. Which is Federal Mongul. If you read the fine print on the Moog boxes now it says "trade mark of Federal Mongul". But the ball joints I got didnt say that. They also came with instruction booklets dated 1988. I think I may have gotten some veerrrryyy old stock when I ordered mine...
