Getting ready to buy new ball joints and bushings for my 68 Formula S Barracuda. This is a moderate restoration, not a concourse car or drag setup but I have invested a good amount in body work as it is a 'numbers matching' car. After a good deal of googling, ebay hunting and reading a few threads here I'm leaning toward the full set from PST. I definitely couldn't see going Anderson Resto or other likely chinese mfg. And while I get the concept of searching out NOS online piece by piece, I'm an older dude who just doesn't have the skill or patience online for that. I've read here and seen in searches that Kantner seems to be the go to for these parts. Can we still get any kind of FABO discount as I once read? Looking for reviews/opinions on the product and any suggestions. I've heard rubber is nicer if you want the softer ride but understand the 'poly' may be preferred for specific locations (ie swaybar). Thanks in advance. I don't post often but regularly read from here in my google searches
 

for your application PST or kanter will be fine for those components along with rubber bushings and bumpers.

use poly on the sway bar bushings and end links.

the only deviation from that, i would strongly suggest using moog "problem solver" offset upper control arm bushings. they will allow you to dial in more positive caster which you'll want with modern radials. while a lot of moog's line is very hit or miss (mostly miss) the offset uppers are still of acceptable quality.
 
If you would prefer to do this once for life with *** N.O.S. *** U.S.A. made *** Quality Parts ---
P.M. me , as per forum rules, if interested.....Craig....
