Our Series V desperately needs a suspension/steering rebuild (is it normal to have 1/8" play in the tie rods No wonder she wanders a bit.). So I’ve been looking into buying the needed parts. From the previous forum recommendations I’ll probably order from SS or CS if at all possible, however I got VB’s winter sale catalog and I have to wonder about a few items.
The ball joint prices are drastically different, $89/$69 for lowers/uppers at SS. $125/$76 at CS. $27/$27 at VB. Now that is quite a difference, what is the story with that? Are the more expensive parts really worth that difference?
The A-Arm bushings are $188/set at SS, $108 at CS and $48 at VB on sale. CS also has upper and lower fulcrum kits listed for Series 5, $145 each, does anyone know what this includes?
I’m going to get new springs all around. Thinking about Series 3 springs based on some comments from the old forum, anyone have experience with the CS or VB springs? Should I stick with Series 5 springs?
