Are you purchasing this stuff from a junkyard/upull type? If so ABS vehicles have a pump with a bunch of brake lines coming out of it. NON ABS vehicle do not have that.~David~

Btw Google comes up empty when I tried looking up those "Precision" ball joints. So I'd be tempted to use Moog just for the lack of info on the other brand. Some people say the Precision you get in NAPA is made by Dana, but is it the same stuff you get at O'Reily idk.The ones who accomplish true greatness, are the foolish who keep pressing onward.
The ones who accomplish nothing, are the wise who know when to quit.

Ditto,
Unless you find a gem, something with brandy new calipers and rotors. Buy those new new/reman. Rock Auto mang.
Upper arms, spindle, hubs, caliper brackets, upgraded sway bar, & the lower arms if you want to prep them before you take the old ones out. These are what you want used. Maybe not even the hubs.

I actually do have used hubs on mine. They're easy enough to test and find good ones used though. If it spins smooth and quiet, its fine. They get grumbly when they are not good.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Everything for my big brake swap came used from a state patrol car, and I mean everything but the upper control arm bushings, which I did get new. But I still used the pads that came with the spindles.
Everything is still on there and working just fine, and that was a few years ago now.
Since the swap I have replaced the pads but that's about it.
I did check it all out before pulling the parts, they looked good, maybe I just got lucky and the car had been serviced not long before it was hit in the rear?Last edited by mcninetyone; 03-20-2016, 07:53 PM.

If the parts are in really good shape, then it might be OK, but it would really have to look fresh. A lot of stuff I see in the yards just isn't worth re-using, though you do occasionally find stuff with what are obviously recent brake jobs.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

The parts that I will be getting from the junkyard are
Upper and lower arms
Spindle
Brake caliper bracket (the one that hold it)
And I think the hubs would be fine but I'll check
Also the sway bar I was thinking that maybe it would be better than the 88 but not sure.
