    Hello where did you buy suspension parts on internet?
    I need lower control arm whit ball joint;
    front outer tie rod end
    front upper ball joint
    Do I need to change something else?
    What kind of brands i have to search for? I was looking for moog, or mayby there are something chaper ones whit good quality?
    I find on rockauto set and its 20$ chaper [whit shipping] than on moog official site.
    When i seraching on ebay its more expensive.




    How named is the part[bushing] on photo? I think its a lot used one and i think it must be changed do i m wrong? :)

    the part with the red arrow is a spring perch.
    i would go with moog parts.

    remember: suspension is the same as 68 mustang. i bet you have mustang shops in poland, too!

    Except possibly the upper ball joint/control arm. Some had 3-bolt like our Mavs, some were 4-bolt. I ask for 70 Mustang parts.

    to check out everything else jack the car up so the weight is off the front suspension have someone move the front end back and forth while you look at everything if anything moves up and down its bad pry up on your ball joints if there is play they should be replaced almost all sixties-seventies cars if one front end part is bad almost always the idler arm is bad too while you are at it grab the wheels move back and forth and check for play in the wheel bearings
