Hey guys, just found out recently that all the squeaking, rattling and bouncing is because I need new suspension parts. Looking at having to get the following:

New shocks and struts for the front and rear

new upper control arms (or possibly just ball joints)

New lower control arms

New bushings (pretty much all around, might just get a whole set, polyurathane maybe)

Might consider new front springs while I'm at it.

So if you had to replace all these things what would you get?

I know our daks have suspension issues, so if there is something better than OEM that doesn't cost too much more I would probably go that route.

 

Ok lets go down the list of front parts
Lower control arms - Find a company with greasable ball joints. Moog probably makes one
Upper control arms - MOOG Part # K620006
Tie rod ends - MOOG Part # ES3571
Front Sway bar end links - MOOG Part # K750263

Shocks front and rear Rancho or Monroe.

Rockauto.com has great prices.

But you can always use the google shopping tab if you find the part# for what you are looking for.

 

Thanks bro, I appreciate the tips. Gonna google some prices tonight and hopefully have it all ordered by wednesday!

 

You shouldn't need lower control arms, just the lower ball joints and control arm bushings. Upper control arms and ball joints are one piece.

 

shop around. eimer is spot on. Rancho's are a little stiffer than Monroe's for struts. I just had the Monroe's installed a couple weeks ago and honestly I cannot tell that much different from stock. So either my stock ones were not that bad or the Monroe's are really soft...

 

Thanks guys, and yeah I think I got mixed up with the upper and lower arms and ball joints, stoner moment on my end.



This is how i feel when I go over a hump on the highway ---->
