Bill, A complete suspension rebuild is doable in the garage/driveway, but it CAN be intimidating. I have re-done mine (front & rear) twice. It was far enough apart in time, that each time was a learning experience. I won't say that it was easy, but definitely doable by a rookie. You also have many resources available to help. Check the TECH Forums at www.chevelles.com (where you signed up for this list). Also Check the WorkShop area of http://links.chevelles.net/links Some very good internet links there. Also several folks on this list will be glad to help you thru the difficult parts. Before you buy/do anything, decide what goal you have in mind for your chevelle. Drag Racing??? Sports Car Handling??? Daily Driver??? Original Restoration??? Each will require different parts and approaches. There is a link to P-S-T, as well as several other suppliers at http://links.chevelles.net in the supplier/suspension area. A complete stock rebuild kit is $250-$300.00 for the front. My personnal experience is to make sure that you use quality parts (MOOG, TRW, DANA) . I used a "kit" for the first rebuild, and after only 50,000 miles EVERYTHING needed replacement again. This time around, I shopped for MOOG parts. They will cost a bit more, but IMHO well worth the cost. rick schaefer ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
