I had PST on the '71. Had an upper ball joint fail backing out of the driveway.
Then both outer tie rod ends snapped off at the top of the threaded ends right through the hole for the cotter pin.
Do yourself a favor. Go to the parts store and buy parts from the USA. TRW (Federal Mogul), MOOG, Spicer. Get poly bushings from PY, Summit or Jegs.
Some guys here have had luck with PSC, but you really don't save that much money with these kits, and alot of times you have no idea if you are getting offshore or USA-made parts.

Spend $5000 on paint and body work
Spend $2000-$5000 on the motor and trans
Spend $1500 on the interior
Spend $1000+ on rims and tires
Balk at an extra $40 for brakes and suspension parts.

Good folks, reasonable price and kits.
They are American made products.

Have used PST products on several different projects,putting an O.E. super kit on my brothers 68 ranchero GT 390 currently and everything is going fine,had to wait like a week for a backordered idler arm but was'nt no big deal as I was not in a big hurry. And have used they're polygraphite bushings too,plan on using them again also.As far as ride quality that falls into the realm of personal preference as what some like others will not,the poly stuff does firm things up,but I don't feel its overly harsh myself.I have not used the front end suspension kits that many times,but the couple of times I have the parts appear to be decent,and I have'nt had any problems myself. Most of my dealings with them have been for the bushings(subframe,rear leaf springs,spring pads,sway bars)and those experiences have been nothing but positive.I had to rephrase this so it would not confuse the basis of my experiences and not to seem to be giving the wrong idea of what specific parts I was refering to.

I was told that Moog has extremely good parts, but are also twice as expensive as PST (at Jobber price, 3 x's more for retail). Moog also had a warehouse fire about a year ago that all but wiped out there inventory. They turned to imports to fill the gap while they rebuilt and did have some issues (which they took care of).

Point is all of these manufacturers have their problems from time to time, you just have to see who has the smallest number of problems and go with them. I have heard plenty of good things about PST and will be installing the OEM kit in my GA. Just hope I don't have a ball joint go south on me!!

I'm still undecided as to whether to use stock rubber bushings/other parts from NAPA (pretty sure they are USA made) or go with PST or PSC for the poly stuff. Suspension work for me is a scary ballbreaker (those damn coil springs scare me to death) so I don't want to have to re-do anything if I decide later that the rubber is too spongy or the polygraphite too stiff.

if you use the poly you should never have to replace them unless something bad happens.

the rubber you will replace because it deteriorates over time even if the car sits.

Well, I'm glad you two made up here...you were both starting to give me a guilty conscience since both of the semi-heated encounters that took place between you were as a result of threads that I had posted !

Yeah that global west stuff is really nice,even made me correct my previous post as they are in another class all by themselves.Pricey but worth it if maximum control is needed.I have'nt run into the issues mentioned but I've always used the graphite poly bushings so I can't say if that is what made the difference or not.
