    suspension upgrade

    alright guys so my lower ball joints are shot in my 1990 GM and was looking to upgrade the suspension, and by that i mean get all 98 front suspension from a junked car. My question was, will everything from a 98 fit with no problem into my box? i will be doing a big brake upgrade as well.

    Check this thread: http://www.grandmarq.net/vb/showthre...l=1#post377308

    Looks like the 98 will have most everything you need with the exception of upper control arms and ball joints. You need a 92-94 for that.

        Thanks alot guys. After reading both posts, ive decided to buy all the parts new from rockauto since the junkyard wont let me bring a jack into the junkyard to be able to safely take out the spring. Rather be safe than dead.

          Don't forget to check amazon for prices as well. A lot of the stuff is available at cheaper pricing, or with free shipping, like whole entire wheel bearing units for $20 or so. It's not hard to hit the free shipping, and they might be doing free ship for everyone for the holiday season. Also, for stuff like brand new calipers, it ended up being a better deal for me to order on Amazon because NO CORE CHARGE. You don't have to send stuff back! Also, some of your favorite podcasts or bloggers could have Amazon Affiliate links that you click on before shopping, and they will send them some money to support them (like a referral reward thing). Then there's also the charity angle, you can pick a charity to give some money to when you shop on amazon (I haven't looked deeply into these programs).

          You may have to use Rock Auto for parts numbers and then search for that part number on Amazon. I've had some problems with them saying a part fits my car, but it doesn't.
