Front Bushings
I have a 89 F-250
I want a full front suspension kit/set so I could rebuild the front end...
The lower pivot turning joint on the spindle is worn, so my camber changes all the time...
Where could I buy a set and replace all of them?
Also, I need sway bar endlinks and wheel bearings? Where do I buy those?
Thank you!

"The lower pivot turning joint on the spindle"
Do you mean ball joint?
I priced this out a year or so ago. Rockauto.com has everything you need, and their prices are excellent.
To completely rebuild the front end would cost about $1000 in parts for a 2wd F-150. I would imagine it would be a bit more for an F-250. If it's 4x4, add more for axle u-joints.
Ball joints are not that expensive, but replacing them is a lot of labor, probably about 6 hours per side. I have a link to a site on how to replace them, but for some reason FTE has decided that I can't post links to that site anymore. Beats me why.

lmc.com bronco graveyard has truck parts too if your changing ball joints buy a ball joint press or rent one took me 2-3 hrs to change one side cause i had to go shop for tools not hard if you have right tools if u have 4wd youll need a spindle puller and slide hammer you can rent at autozone for a deposit if u have one near by

honestly, i dont know what it is called. but looking at it, and comparing to the other side, i know this part needs replacing. i will get a picture up once i get a chance so maybe you could tell me!
1k for parts in front end rebuild... wow, sure is expensive! i thought these trucks are suppose to be cheap to maintain!
