    We are in the process of rebuilding the front suspension with PST bushings. We pulled the upper control arm assembly apart and it appears that the cross shafts are worn out of round. It looks like the ends of the shafts were originally round and now they are oval shapped. Are new crosshafts available or am I going to have to weld thesed up and turn them on a lathe? Thanks guys

    Front end

    I am pretty sure that the front end kits for the Mustang, up to 73, bolt up. There is a guy on ebay selling a front end kit for Mustangs now. From my shopping, the front end kit will fit.

    I'd check with PST - I bought new (assembled) uppers from them in their 'super' kit.

    Good luck.

    If you need a set of those shafts I have a set and would sell them for $10.00 plus shipping, let me know if you want them. Chandler:D
