Spohn frontend kit

Installed the Spohn front end kit with no problems except the for the lower ball joints, they were rusted in and were a bear to get out of the A-arm. Outside of that, everything went in with no problems. The 22yrs parts were wore out is understatement, going is the slop in the steering wheel and replaced with almost no play. Everything fit and went togther better then I thought it would. One stop shopping for everything and it fits with no problems.

Re: Spohn frontend kit

I hear ya...I just replaced everything with MOOG and I rebuilt my steering box.....man what a difference. no more slop! As far as the ball joints though....I'm just gonna buy the UMI A-arms with the ball joints already installed. They're about $200 a piece but you get poly bushings and a stronger arm.
