Title: Suspension parts
Post by: Heo on June 01, 2017, 05:48:32 PM

I removed the frontclip from the Galaxie to paint the
firewall and frontend of frame  when the engine is out
But  there is no way to do it with any satisfying result
without tearing down the frontsuspension so i just
degreasing it for now and tear it down this winter..
So where can i buy suspension bushings preferably
better than stock,Springs,shocks,swaybar?

Dearborn classics has a bunch of nice parts available, 90 percent are stock replacements but they have some upgraded parts as well, and through my experience all the parts are high quality and fit better then the rest I have tried, bar none.

May as well toss in Dennis Carpenter as a potential source also.  Just got some parts for my F100 form NPD and they were in Dennis Carpenter bags.  I got burned by Macs once so I don't buy there any more.  Might be best to shop price for the kit you need from one of the bigger suppliers due to your location.

I got my '64 front end suspension parts through a place called "ESPO Springs 'n things" right here in Pennsylvania.  Everything was spot on.
