Re: Suspension Parts

I've had good luck with Mevotech Supreme parts so far. I'm up to 11k miles on the Mevotech cross shafts on my '66 with no issues. Also have Mevotech upper control arms on our '79 C30 but it doesn't get driven enough to really wear anything out.

Your stock cross shafts are probably still in good shape, the ones out of my '66 had 150k on them and the threaded wear areas were still in great shape with play and no visible wear. If you're worried about part quality then you might be able to get away with reusing your old ones with new seals.

We had Moog ball joints wear to the point of causing tire wear issues within 30k on my sister's TBSS, and Moog control arm bushings split on my Festiva after a very short period. They're definitely not the go-to suspension parts company anymore.
