Old School Mopar Warrior
Looking ahead on my project Duster, it shouldn't be too terribly long before I'm ready to reassemble the front suspension. Since all the rubber bushings are at least 30 years old and possibly older, (and deteriorated) it's time to replace them all. At this point I have 2 basic options;
1) Rubber OEM-type components
2) Polygraphite components
From what I've read, the only advantage rubber has is originality and lower price. If that's the case, I'll upgrade to poly. If anyone knows any different, speak up and correct me!
There are a dizzying number of companies hawking their wares on the net. I just got through visiting 5 different websites, all claiming to be the best, with prices ranging from a couple hundred to over $600.00.....knowing that most of the time, "you get what you pay for", I'm taking suggestions for the best quality kit for the price based on your personal experiences....otherwise I'll just have to toss the dice and pick one?
Need the entire front end kit-
Here are the specs;
1972 Plymouth Duster
Street/strip use. NOT a "daily driver"!
340 currently under build, est. 300-400 HP range, 12 second bracket
A833 four speed
3.91 Sure grip stock rear end
considering subframe connectors, adjustable pinion snubber and traction bars
stock springs and shackles (at present)
manual steering
power front disc brakes HD
