Title: 68 500KR
Post by: PMarsh on June 19, 2025, 03:54:53 PM
Hey Everyone
   Thankyou for letting me join here.
Im Pat with Auto Art Restoration in St.Louis. JUST have a quick question?
  A client here at our shop just purchased a 68 500 KR . 90k miles. but the front suspension is shot/ badly worn. I have strongly engaged him to keep the car as factory original as possible . I'm having trouble finding OEM/NOS front suspension parts . And all of reproduction parts I've checked into seem to be cheap and not nearly as heavy duty as the original . Would anyone here have any NOS lower control arms with ball joints and inner and outer tie rod ends ???? IF still available???? We understand that NOS parts will not be cheap to purchase .  IF not does happen anyone have suggestions on the best possible direct replacement parts available? We want to keep and rebuild the right way !!!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!!!
THANKYOU for your time.

Talk to Marcus at Anghels Restoration in Phoenix. He can rebuild some of it and recommend the rest.
