Bought McQuay-Norris uppers, Motocraft lowers and AC Delco bushings.
I'll deal with this suspension work sometime soon and post results.

One thing extra: OE joints are sealed, but replacements have open lube-openings for the straight Zerk fittings that come in the package. Due to space limitations, using angled fittings is the way to go, right?

Thanks

i think the straight zerk will work for at least one of your joints, maybe both, but the 90 may provide better access. i would suggest putting it all together and then install the zerks as you see fit
