front end rebuild question

[DustKotaR/T]

Hey all,
I'm planning a front end refresher for my 71 duster (already discs), and I am planning on purchasing spindles, UCA's, booster and MC off of a 75 dart for the 4 1/2" 5 lug pattern. I know the uppers off of the 75 have a bigger BJ than what's on the car now, so i guess my question is when i order the front end rebuild kit from PSC, do i order the kit for a 73 and newer A body so i get the correct upper BJ? I'm just not sure if all the other components for the later A bodies take the same exact bushings and joints as my 71.

yes, but tell them exactly what your doing so they give ya the proper parts.

Abodyjoe's advice seconded. Besides the UBJ, the only other difference I'm aware of are the sway bar end links on the 73 + front end are shorter. The isolators on the links are the same.

the lower ball joints are different too. so basically you will go with a 73-up kit but make sure they know what your doing.

Thanks guys! i don't have a sway bar yet either, but that's going to change too.
