Hi Barners,

Does anyone have a rebuilder in the NorthEast to recommend for a complete Front End rebuild? The assembly is off the car. I am in Connecticut.
Thanks,
Bruce/CT

Any suggestions? I can take it to Hershey next month.

Bruce, what all are you considering as a front end rebuild?
Kingpins & bushings, spring, wheel bearings and seals, drums and hubs, brake shoes and other brake components, axle alignment, tie rod ends, shocks, etc., etc. You may need to define exactly what you need done.

Hi John,

Sorry to be vague but I know that the car had minimal maintenance during its prior ownership. It probably will need most of the list. Kingpins & bushings; tie rods, wheel bearings, drums and brakes would be starting point. I expect more. It drove OK until it was dismantled. Springs and shocks are off it
Looking for someone to go thru it. Find problems and fix them.

Hasn't anyone in the NorthEast had a 36 era Ford Front End rebuilt?
