LCA pivot shaft and adjustable strut rod issues

Once upon a time long ago...........1995/1996, I was a starving college student working two part time jobs and going to school full time. To say I was broke was a understatement. I scrimped and saved until I could afford a front end rebuild kit for the /6 72 duster I was driving. The strut rod bushings fell apart before I got it across town to the alignment shop. Replaced them with moog and went back and it aligned okay. within 5000 miles it was all shot. I have never bought one single thing from PST since. maybe they have gotten better but does not sound like it.
