shopping frustrations!

Trying to find a complete rebuild kit for the front suspension of my stock V8 1966 Barracuda. Can any of you fine folk point me in the right direction?

The immediate problem is that my left front tire has developed a leaning problem, the bottom is way out and wearing the inside of the tire. Is that a control arm bushing problem or ball joint? I figure it would make sense to do a complete rebuild while at it. Does that make any sense or should I just fix whatever is the problem?

TIA Vern

It likely needs a rebuild, but there are other things that can cause this including loose alignment cams. I recently installed Raybestos bushings and ball joints in a 69 B-body front end. They seemed to be decent quality, but the upper bushings do not have the full sleeve that the originals had (I'm not sure if any replacements have them). Raybestos is available from Bill Rolik Enterprises and JC Whitney. I may look around more the next time I build some control arms. Moog has been good, but is apparently outsourcing to Asia now.

problem is I'm not smart enough to know what "all my stuff" is. with the internet links I should be able to make out a parts list and hit the local FLAPS.
