427 Front End Rebuild

[ERA174]

I am planning on refurbishing the front end suspension and steering components on my FE powered ERA 427 Cobra. Does anyone have any feed back (pro or con) on using poly bushings over oem replacements. Also, are the low friction ball joints worth the extra expense? The vehicle is for street use with very infrequent track excursions. I will probably use poly bushings and standard replacement ball joints unless otherwise advised. Any advise is appreciated.

Regards, John

My combination is the standard rubber a-arm bushes and poly only on the anti-roll bar. Ball joints are the standard GM as are the tie-rod ends.
All remain well after 16 years' use and ab-use. No trouble on the racetrack, drag strip or street.
You might regret poly for street conditions and you don't sacrifice feel or grip with rubber. For track-only I'd use bronze.
