Help w/replacement suspension parts
Permalink  

Can anybody help us to locate parts such as control arm bushings, shocks, ball joints etc? We'd really like to get a full suspension kit but I've tried most of the popular places and can't seem to find anybody that stocks them for our make/model. Car is '64 Parisienne ragtop. Does full-size Chevy interchange?

Thanks for any and all help..

Yes, I believe a 64 Impala chassis is identical.

 Absolutely! If you order from the States, please say it is for a Chevy as a lot of the parts people are unaware of our Canadian Ponchos! Been there, done that!!!
 That being said, there should be no issues getting front end parts for your car other than possibly bushing kits! Maybe you should ask the guys you have tried to look up Chevy as well?

I have had good luck with Napa. And if you work for a company that orders parts threw them, they will give you a discount.  I have bought ball joints and front coil springs from them, no problem getting them.

stick with the brand name parts....moog, spicer, etc.

stay away from the '2nd line, white box' parts....offshore junk.

Getting hard to tell where the parts are coming from now days. Bought some stuff from NAPA in their own box, "made in Mexico" same with DELCO My guages for the 52, Brand name, open the box, "Made in China" Pretty well have to ask before you buy "Where's it MADE"
