Front suspension rebuild

Post by Jesseshipmans63bird »

Hello all, I just purchased my dream thunderbird so I knew I’d be needing so join a forum ASAP!
Introductions out of the way, my bird is a 1963 and I have a pretty long list of to-do’s for it. First, I need to rebuild the front end suspension/steering components. I can tell it’s all original, plus is squeaks really loud going down the road.

I was wondering if any of y’all knew of an entire kit that sells everything together, that way I don’t have to try and track everything down myself... Thanks!

First question I always ask first do you have the Shop manual?....Getting all the needed materials to read would help you fully understand what you're getting into. We have our advertisers that help our group. Take some time and look up these suppliers , and then make a list of what you need to replace. Good Luck.

I am a very big supporter of our advertisers and suppliers, BUT also one who looks at the big picture on prices and costs.
Anytime I needed or helped anyone on suspension products, I recommend a Company by the name of "Kanter". Their product has done me well and at a competitive price. They have been around for many years, and have heard no negative feedback.
