It is time for me to replace the nolathane that is in my LC’s front end and am trying to decide where to buy a suspension kit from.
Resto Country, Rares or somewhere else?
As she has been sitting for around 16 years, would it be a good idea to do the ball joints and tie rod ends as well? I replaced them all brand new drove it for a year then sat in my shed ever since.
Cheers

Just do the bushes. If the ball joints and tie rod end were replaced they should be fine.

Check to see what your sealing boots look like on ball joints etc, if they show signs of cracking etc. Might be easier to replace whilst everything is out, rather than six months down the track when they split.

The rubbers aren’t cracked but they are the greaseless type. Does this make a difference?
I gave them a wobble and couldn’t see any movement in them so I could keep them in. However, I am also thinking that I should change them while I have it all apart to save doing it again later.
