The front suspension system on your car or truck holds more than just the springs that make the vehicle ride properly. Every part in the front suspension will wear out over time, and when they do, they can affect the ride quality, handling, and alignment of the vehicle. Often, using a front-end suspension rebuild kit to replace all the parts at once can save time and money if you are trying to correct issues in the front end of your car or truck.

Kits And Parts

If you are considering using a front-end suspension rebuild kit for your vehicle, it is critical that you get one made specifically for your car or truck. The year the vehicle was manufactured is often vital because mid-year design changes can significantly impact what parts fit correctly and will do the job you need them to do. 

Often, buying your suspension kit from a dealer that offers kits assembled by a more prominent suspension parts manufacturer is a good idea. The parts in the kit will all be high-quality parts designed to work with the OE or aftermarket parts on the vehicle to provide the best performance and handling because they are all selected by the manufacturer for that specific use.  

Installing the front suspension rebuild kit is often the quickest way to resolve issues and get the front end to align to the factory specifications. While often the parts will not all wear out simultaneously, if the car is older and has been neglected, it is entirely possible that everything in the suspension system is shot and needs to be replaced together to update the system. 

Performance Parts

Using a front suspension rebuilt kit on your car allows you to select the parts for different levels of performance. While some OE parts suppliers will put together kits you can use, a performance parts dealer will often build a suspension rebuild kit that uses racing or performance parts everywhere possible on the vehicle. 

These systems or kits will often use high-performance urethane bushings and heavy tubes on A-arms, tie rods, and other parts under a lot of stress. Usually, these kits include upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rods, sway bar end links, and upper and lower control arms for your specific vehicle. 

Replacing the springs and shocks is often optional. Still, on a car being fitted with performance parts, it may be beneficial to replace the springs with similar performance springs and shocks that are better suited to dampening the suspension and helping the suspension rebuild kit do the job it was designed for.
