    Suspension bushings

     



    Anyone know where I can purchase front suspension components for my 55 Ford 2dr? I'm looking to replace all the wear-ables like bushings, bump stops, sway bar kits, ball joints and coil springs. So far I've come across Dennis Carpenter, Mid-West Early Ford and Kanter Auto. These three places sell OEM type replacements (rubber). Can I get poly-graphite type for this car? Any personal recommendations?

    I don't know if they do the older Fords, but I have Energy Suspension bushings on my Shelby, and will be using them on the '57 Chevy we're building. Dennis Carpenter is a good source for various things I've needed for the '65 F100. Mac's Auto Parts has been helpful, and they have great catalogs - www.macsautoparts.com is their URL.

    There aren't enough of those mid-fifties Fords out there. Glad to hear of one being built.
