68 barracuda front suspension replacement kit

68brcuda said
I want to rebuild my front end, using rubber replacement bushings, arms, misc. I have purchased used spindles, calipers and upper control arms from a 73 dart swinger as mine are drum brakes with 14" rims. I'm looking into new complete kits for my car, what company do you suggest buying from? Not using QA1, or neopreme kits, just using it for a daily driver, not strip use. P-S-T and Just Suspension are ones I've been looking at. Any suggestions please!! TIA...

When you put 73 up disc brakes on a pre 73 vehicle, a prepackaged "kit" gets complicated. This brake change has been done sooo many times that these vendors probably can put together a kit with all the correct parts you need. I don't know for sure. I only know that if you keep the pre 73 center link, pitman and idler arms, parts in a 73 up kit wont work. If you'll keep the pre 73 upper control arms with small ball joints, you'll need adapters for the upper hole in that spindle that aren't in a kit.
Then the stabilizer bar is another issue. Forward bushings and end links are different. First time I went through all this was 1982. I went to what was Zaglins Auto Parts on my lunch hour 3 days in a row. That sweet old lady let me go through her parts catalogs to finger out exactly what parts would do what I wanted to do. I didn't need to return anything except the brake fluid lines for the 73 A-body which were too short. When all done, I went for front end alignment. The guy pointed out that my spindles had been switched left and right. "I know that. I don't have a stabilizer bar today but I plan to have one". He says, "Well I can't get you the right specs for your radial tires. Must be some difference caused by the spindle switch". I'll admit that I didn't know back then but with todays information highway, we know switching the spindles wasn't the issue. A set of offset upper arm bushings will get better handling, tire life, etc... I don't know if the offset bushing were available in 1982. They are today. Probably not in a kit though.
There was one day when Mrs. Zaglin said, "I wouldn't want to own a car that ever belonged to you. I wouldn't know what parts to buy for it". RIP Mrs. Zaglin.
So before committing to a "kit", Consider a piece mill collection of parts. Better than return shipping stuff you can't use? Like I said before, I don't know. We both saw links to kits for 73 up. You have a 68. Good luck
