Default Replacement center link for a 67 Lemans.

We need a new center link for a 67 Lemans. I have found that MOOG, my go to suspension parts choice, no longer has them available. Does anyone have opinions on the other aftermarket choices available now. Mostly are from companies I have never heard of before. And prices differ by more than a $100.

The car is a convertible summer time cruiser with a mostly stock suspension and 17 inch wheels.

I did do some searches and the latest information was from 2007. I'm pretty sure there's more recent information to be had.

Thanks in advance.

I've dealt with PST and never had any issues.

I tried 3 different center links on my 66 LeMans. Proforged fit the best, PST and Rare Parts hit the tow hook on the frame.

The one we just put on a 67 GTO seemed to fit just fine, but it isn't on the road yet. Got it from RideTech because they are local to us in Jasper Indiana. They listed two different sizes and we weren't sure which one we needed, so went there and picked it up in person.

I have the Proforged center link on my '66 and it fits great. Seems like a high quality part. Crazy to see the price on them has gone up 54% since I purchased mine in March of 2020.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Looks like we're going to go with the larger Proforged unit.
