1969 Charger Suspension rebuild

[dlo3575]

Helping my son with his 69 Charger General Lee.  I bought a suspension rebuild kit off e-Bay.  It was fairly complete, but I noticed it was missing a few items we need.  Specifically, I need to replace some of the bolts (the four large cross member bolts, the front strut rod nuts, front upper control arm eccentric bolts-washers and a few other misc.). I also need some bushings, bumpers and a pittman arm. It seems like there are a lot of niche parts suppliers, but I am nervous that I am going to get some Chinese garbage, rather than good quality parts.  Where's the best place to get this stuff?  I had hoped Moog would have it, but sadly they don't, according to thier web page.  Cost is a factor too.  Some suppliers want $140 for ball joints! so any web sites or advice is greatly appreciated.

Also needed is a specialty tool to get the upper ball joint out?  I heard they can be a pain to get out?

Moog makes most you will need for stock repairs. Go to Mancini Racing's sight for parts and tools. Check as Advance Auto got much of the Moog parts I needed and were cheaper and faster with no shipping cost. It's all out there no worry's.

Yes you need a socket to unthread the upper ball joint , if you press it out the control arm will be junk .
Mancini & others have the sockets available . I think you will have to use a god set of used  K frame bolts , I am not aware of a supplier of new ones . Moog has new eccentric bolt sets .
Rock auto may be worth checking for prce on Moog parts , Energy suspension has Poly bump stops & sway bar links if needed .
