Default Question about Front end?

I had a guy come by today and said he had some clicking when turning the truck left so I got under there and looked and it's definitely a mess but it's old lol all the Bushings look shot and dry-rotted. I kinda looked up some stuff Nd he is not trying to spend crazy bookoo money so I seen a 15-piece kit around $160. I was wondering if this is a good kit or what do you all recommend?

I am not sure, but typically a lot of different brands of parts are actually all made in the same place by the same manufacture, but I would be leary of buying the cheapest parts. The Rock auto stuff is proably ok, because allthough it may be minimal, they have certain quality minimums I am sure to 1. Keep their customers happy, but 2. Alive. Another proablem, as you know, with getting stuff online, if something is wrong, returns are next to imposible. So I would use your own judgement a little, and maybe just stick with stuff you know is good parts.

Energy is a reputable company. However I'm not sure if they have lower quality stuff that they sell elsewhere. Some companies do some don't. With the Energy stuff it's always better than factory. Polyurethane bushings usually aren't cheap. The only draw back is if they're greasable or not. I had some on my fox body and loved it.
