RE: How difficult - Front suspension rebuild

[Doug Jacobsma <big_jake57@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got my "kit" last summer from Performance Suspension Technology.  www.p-s-t.com .  It was a very complete kit, including idler arm, tie rod ends, sleeves ect.  They don't show 62 Chrysler (65 the earliest I believe) on their website, but a call might be worth it, as they were very knowledgeable and helpfull when I talked to them, and said they had access to much more than was on the web page.  
Since my back problems won't allow me to be under the car, twisting and turning in odd ways for very long, I had a local shop  do the work.  350 bucks including alignment.  That was with an apology that it cost that much because it was "alot harder to get apart than I thought it would be". I know that things might be a bit more expensive in Omaha, but think I'd look around a bit before spending a grand on it.  

Good luck,
Jake
