Gary, and list,
If you're buying a 1957 ball joint fom
Bernbaum or any nos dealer, it's at least $50. I have had stuff off Andy over
the years that I just couldn't find anywhere else. Big bucks. Fair enough.
But,you can buy the whole darn front end rebuilt kit complete for around $179.
It ain't nos, it's new.That is, excluding new inner tie rod ends. They are
available extra at about $20 each, from:
Performance Suspension Technology in Montvill,
NJ.
I ordered a kit for my non FWLK '65 New
Yorker 3 years ago.No e-mail then, did it by fax. Service was tops, fast,
fast.Took a card. The price is still the same 3 yrs later. Can't be bad. There
were no 'foreign' rubbishy parts, all made in the US or Canada.Everything you
will need is there,I found, including sway bar bushings,looked quality, all fit
like a glove, must recommend this company. Think '57 is as far back as they
go.
And they stock KYB gas shocks for $119 the
4.I got the correct ones for the NY'er same time as the front end kit.Recommend
highly, pity they ain't US made. Oh well, at least the car was !! Free catalog
available online, have a look at the site.

Subject: [FWDLK] Parts purchases
I have read comments (good and not so good) about Andy
Bernbaum over the past few months. I ordered from them one time and
received good service and good materials. I am thinking of ordering
front end parts for my 57 Plymouth. Is there a better source? I
have tried NAPA and they dont't have everything I need. Gary Goers
doesn"t have all the parts either. Am going to completely rebuild the
front end. Thanks. Gary
