'65 BUICK RIVIERA- Best Front Suspension Parts Suppliers..??

[ESnacky6]

The front suspension on my Rivi needs a complete overhaul....
(minus shocks and springs, those have already been replaced...)

Who sells the best parts,
and/or the most complete rebuild kits..??
anyone to avoid..??

What are the easiest/most difficult parts to locate in general..??


Thanks alot..!! -Snacks....

PST has most of the parts.
Not sure if they sell the complete kit but I know if you have the dimensions, they have the part.
Kanter also has them as well as most MOOG suppliers.
Most of the parts are still available.

Thanks Stevie G...

I've ordered a rebuild kit from Kanter before, for a '54 Chevy front end....
It really seemed like the parts were a 'rough' fit....
took some serious 'persuasion', but everything worked....

I'll check out the others, thanks..!! -Snacks....

Hmmmm....

I looked on the PST website, www.p-s-t.com (http://www.p-s-t.com)
and the Riviera model wasn't listed...

does anyone know the interchangability between the
Skylark, Gransport, and Special model suspension parts..??

those were the only models listed for 1965,
and a complete kit for about $400 sound reasonable....

Any advice..??? Thanks..!! -Snacks....

my 66 motors gives a bunch of info,,,
but they break the front suspension up like this:
64-66 special & skylar
61-63 special series
61-66 senior series
59-60
lemme know if you want me to scan & email anything

You would need to look at the larger series cars with the 'X' frame.
