Front-end Rebuilding



Hello All!!!
I am hoping that athose of you in the IML who have gone thru the 'front-end-
rebuild' thing can offer some first hand info here. I want to redo the front-
end of both my '66 Crown convertibles. I figure if I am going to do this I 
would like to do it the right way and only once (in my lifetime anyway). I was 
talking to a mechanic at one of our local shops and he said that the 
polyurathane (spelling?) bushings and such will last a lot longer than say 
MOOG or TRW products BUT !!!!!! that I should expect the poly's to 'squeek' 
for a LOOOONNNG time once they are installed. I haven't heard of this problem 
before but was wondering if any of you out there in IML-land could tell me, 
from experience, which re-build kits or parts you have used and how they 
performed afterwards. Also if you would buy again from the person you 
purchased your own oarts from.
Thanks in advance for any and all replys!!!!!
My 4-post lift arrives in about 2 weeks and this is probably the 
first 'project' I will attack......also, do I need any special tools? (besides 
something for doing ball-joints ....which is going to be another 'first' for 
me also....maybe I should just have the auto shop do the whole thing?????? I 
greatly appreciate ANY info on this!!
Thanks everyone!!
