    Front suspension rebuild

    I am looking at this product for a front suspension rebuild.
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Holden-HQ.../301676748896?

    I have had discussions with other HQ and HZ owners who have used them, wondering if the Sandman people have purchased and used these kits with any information.

    I have been getting quite a lot of parts from Kingwood country. really good customer service too.
    I just looked up a similar kit and its cheaper. the do a few different kits depending on how much you need.

    the kit you listed there is $625, the Kingswood country kit I have listed below is $495 but it also has wheel bearings.

    The Ebay seller you posted has some really bad feed back in last 12 months, all wrong parts and wont respond to emails..... I wouldn't use that seller. but that's just me.

    The KC ones are rubber like the originals, never put Nolathane in control arm bushes, its too stiff and cracks the control arms. it is ok for sway bars though. stiffens it up for good cornering but if its just a cruiser go original rubber.

    Never use Nolathane anywhere in my opinion.

    My white van has a combination of kingswood country and bursons(just tie rod ends I think). Everything rubber.
    Was quite happy with it, drove very well until I dropped the 308 in and left the 6 cyl springs.
    I wouldn't touch that set you've listed with the nylock nuts. Get castled nuts with split pins.

    Mackay Consolidated are OEM suppliers. Back in the day they were called Mackay Silentruba. Pretty sure they still supply GMH today. Very good product.
