Suspension bushings or rebuild kit?
Hi all, I have a Contemporary 427 SC with, what looks to me to be the Jag suspension.
I'm looking to get it back on the road after sitting for a long time.
I had the wheels off the other day to attempt to hit all the grease spots and noticed the condition of most of the bushings is very poor. Some were nearly entirely dry rotted away. They all look to be in bad shape. A couple zerks were seized and wouldn't accept any grease. Others took it too well and were probably bone dry to begin with. Boots on the (CV?) joints were disintegrating.
The drivers side front shock (Koni, I think) went full droop after a day or so suspended i assume it has a bad seal too.
At this point i think i will need to replace most if not all of the bushings in the front suspension. Probably the shocks (might as well while I'm in there...)
Can you guys recommend a source for an appropriate rebuild kit that someone might offer? Or at the least, is there a particular retailer that has a good selection if I have to piecemeal order replacements?
Thanks!
