    The front end on my car is in worse shape than most I've seen.
    I need to rebuild the whol =e thing, but I need to do it as cheap as possible.
    Anyone have a list of vehicle that share most/all the suspension components?
    I wouldn't mind upgrading to nicer stuff, but mostly I'm looking at safety.
    Thanks in advance.

    heres how to do it cheap. as far as bushings go, get the energy suspensions hyper-flex complete bushing kit for a 1967-73 ford mustang.. it's summit part number ENS-4-18111 and runs about $77 bucks.. they go in flawlessly and include all bushings front AND rear. they are stiff but not like graphite..also includes end-links. you'll have to get rod ends seperately and all other non-bushing parts..
