ALL PARTS HAVE BEEN SOLD

Throwing a feeler out there...

I aquired a set of 88 rear suspension links w/ like-new poly bushings. I received these parts as part of my 3800sc drop-out package that I purchased from a member of this forum. I do not have any need for these parts as I already have them...

Parts are in the process of being sand blasted and powder coated in black.
Have all six links
Full set of poly busings
L&R hubs w/ bearings (was told the bearings were good; but just assume there not) - SOLD

I noticed one of the long drag-links (the one that attaches up front of the cradle to the lower hub) has a slight bend to it. looks like the PO may have started to jack the car from this point, then stoped and repositioned the jack to a better location. I suppose one could install this link on the opposit side and jack it again to straighten it out, or use a press to get it straight. It bent slightly and could prolly be used as-is, but just ofering full disclosure...

The poly kit alone goes for around $70 new and I have seen the suspension arms sell for upwards of $180 un-coated & w/o hubs/bearings...

SOLD - poly busings
SOLD - for the 6 powder coated links (w/o bushings)
SOLD - powder coated hubs & bearings

Will post pics once the parts are back from powder coat...

No grease on bushing so there not fully installed; they will ship dry...


Rear bearings; was told they were good, but I think it would be a good idea to use new one...


Rear knuckles; powder coat came out better then I expected because of all the tight nooks & crevices and the fact there cast. I did not/will not remove the coating from the bearing surfaces to prevent them from rusting. Before installing the wheel bearing it would be a good idea to remove the PC for that area; to get a good, flat mating surface...

Poly for the rear only...
Bushings look new, don't think the car was driven with them, only installed...

WOW! Is this great timing or what? I just happen to have an '88 cradle laying around that I was just thinking about putting in my '86 SE. Was hoping I'd be able to find all the appropriate pieces necessary. Let me check my funds, but I do believe you have a buyer! Can't wait to see the pics of the hubs. Looks like I can sell my RCC tubular lower controll arms and RCC-style bump-steer kit

Hubs are finished but didn't have time to take pics while I was at work... Will get the pics posted in the AM... The only parts that do not look good are the wheel bearings; no way I am gonna put them in the sand-blast cabinet

Great! What would be the shipping to 18015? That will help me figure the funds.

BTW, will you take paypal?

PayPal is prefered... However, I lose 3% to fee's... If want to send the money as a gift, I would not get hit w/ fee's; or I would be willing to split the fee w/ you, so only 1.5% extra...

Shipping would $25.56 via UPS Ground or $21.37 via USPS Parcel Post (not recomended)... All the parts are heavy...

As luck would have it, the fuel pump just went today in my '05 Canyon so my funds just got pretty used up. It looks like I will only have enough left to by the hubs/bearings. I'm guessing that shipping would pretty much stay the same due to the size/weight (if it will be different, let me know). I can paypal right away....just need addy? Or did you post that already, hmmmmm...

So it would look like $100.56 as a gift.
