A Arm rebuild question

I'm looking to rebuild my A Arms on my 87 944 and I'm having a hard time finding all the parts I need. Any advive on parts and procedures are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Balljoint kits are available from Rennbay. http://www.rennbay.com/

I highly recommend getting the track kit with the solid upper bushings. I personally feel the standard bushings are not the best and had some issues with them. The solid bushings are more forgiving of a slightly worn out balljoint pocket, which is very likely.

For the bushings, OEM rubber bushings are available for the front or the Weltmeister reds. Either are good options.. i would just get the OEM rubber.. and the only option for the rear is the updated 968 caster block which is a great upgrade.

What about the rubber bushings on the piece that connects to the crossmember? Couldn't find those anywhere.

I just rebuilt my ball joints on my 951 yesterday using the rennbay kit and it was easy. Suprisingly easy.

How about these to replace the front bushings?

And would these work for the back?
