KC Phirus Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 For what?? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 I don't think anybody sells a "kit" with all the tie rods, drag links, idler arm and ball joints in one package. The cheapest would be to order the individual parts from RockAuto. > front steering kit Or are you asking about converting the steering from rear steer to front steer??? Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 front for a 510 i will check into it any part numbers ? i should look for Quote Link to comment

TENDRIL Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 510 freak ty, now my only question is will that fit for a 69' because it says 71-73?? Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 and do you trust those parts ? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 MOOG is a top USA brand. I would trust them. MOOG Kit $198.69 Quote Link to comment
Guest 510kamikazifreak Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 There is a difference in ball joints for some early(cant remember off the top of my head what yrs tho)confirm with moog imo.. As to trusting,moog is one of the better suspension parts suppliers.So yes I would,but thats me.. I read the reviews and one person said they hgot a jobber(crap) part with their kit,Look into the fact they are supplying all moog Quote Link to comment
Guest 510kamikazifreak Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 68/69 model years had not only different ball joints (12mm opposed to 14mm that were introduced in 1970), but the tie rods and sleeves were also changed from an M12 to M14 thread making all these parts unique. Found it,so I would check with Moog.I do know they make the early parts,so that said would think they would supply for application.. Quote Link to comment
philcas1987 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 as far as i know. and ive searched. the 68-69 tie rods got superseded to the later bigger stronger style. win win. the only ball joints that ive found available are the k9011 the 70-73. so the op will need the 70-73 knuckles. inner tie rods are different on 68s. they are straight not angled. engineers refined the whole front end geometry through out the years Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 i basicly want to replace the whole linkage with the newer stronger stuff! that package should do it right! i just need to make sure the ball joints attach to my struts? Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 this is what i have on it but it was in a wreck in the privious wagon, and all the seals are blown on the ball joints and tie rods Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 its all thicker than the stock linkage i pulled out of the 69', so im thinking it was all ready upgraded, so now i just need to replace evrything again? Quote Link to comment
philcas1987 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 huh? the only thing that is thicker is called the tie rod adjusting sleeve. in this case its a rod. and the tapered stud on the ball joint. so buy the damn kit and 70-73 knuckles! Quote Link to comment
Guest 510kamikazifreak Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 huh? :lol: Get the kit.... Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Don't worry about "blown" seals on the tie-rod Ends and ball-joints. If you keep them lubed per schedule they will last for years. Of course if they are worn out then go ahead and replaced them. Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 http://www.moog-susp..._PackageDeal005 so I'm getting mixed feed back about this kit. Is it going to be a okay kit or is there better one out there? Someone said the stuff is mixed with different MFG's.... Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 so i just got my kit and im not sure if theres another package coming or not but they forgot the driver side inner and outer tie-rods...... everything else came and there all matching parts but missing the driverside set-up Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 got photos?? was it all MOOG stuff or different mish mash vendors? reason I ask is someone posted this in reply to my question/status... " they ALWAYS repackage. you pay for moog and get the cheap shit in a moog box and its not even a matching set" Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 well they were allin MOOG packing and fuck me silly if it isnt all made in japan....... :poop: :angry: Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 damit !!!! Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 is Moog an american company? I dont know much about them, is why I ask. I wonder if there is a way to buy actual american moog stuff. email them here about it.. http://www.federalmogul.com/en/ContactUs/NorthAmerica/ Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Moog is perhaps the most famous suspension component company. Quote Link to comment
