Greetings all!
I'm looking to replace (most) of the front end suspension on my 59 T-bird. I replaced the wheel bearings and greased the ball joints when I did the front disc brakes. I also replaced the stabilizer rubber and connections at the lower arm.
This coming Fall when I pull the motor to build my 410 stroker I want to replace all the rubber bushings and ball joints. Can anyone tell me a good source for these parts? I'd also like to know if there is anyway to make the front end a little tighter, be it add on parts (anti sway tricks etc) or stock hardware. I'm not worried about the rear suspension - I had the leaf springs retensioned and added an extra leaf when I re-did the axle and 3rd member.
I'd also like to know how to tell if the springs are OK. Can they be re-tensioned, or do they have to be replaced?
I've already replaced all the shocks.
thx in advance, Dave J
