Looking to rebuild the front of my 66' 300, has anyone used this kit and have any feedback on it?

Although convenient as a whole kit, but reality is most of the parts are questionable quality and short life.
Especially the lower ball joints and lower control arm bushings.
I rather pay good money on those since they are a pain to replace and want the parts to last a very long time.
In the past I sourced Moog parts or equivalent. TRW, Mopar, Delco,etc.
Hope this helps.

Where are you going to get lower ball joints these days (besides MobileParts) ?

Craig may have the disc brake ball joints.
I got my drum brake ones from National Moparts.

I have the DISC BRAKE LOWER BALL JOINTS !!!!!! ,
I have the Drum Brake LOWER BALL JOINTS ,
I have lots of *** N.O.S. *** U.S.A. made parts , where a “ C “ Body *** COMPLETE *** FRONT END is concerned
( Notice that there is N O Idler Arm and N O Pitman Arm and NO Upper and Lower Rebound Bumpers in the picture of your
$ 13.99 Chineseum Front End Kit …. )
What you have illustrated , O P , is not good enough for a tricycle , much less a Majestic “ C “ Body ……
Just stating facts…. Craig…..

Genuine MoPar parts is the way to go if you can get them. Mobileparts will have these as well as NOS aftermarket parts that garages used to use back in the day. What he won't have is new Chinese stuff of questionable quality. Also, Craig is a wealth of information. Not slighting anyone else who deals in NOS parts, but I've dealt with Craig in the past and been satisfied.
@Lefty71 @bronze turbine rockauto hasn't had lower ball joints for C bodies for as long as I've been looking (the past 3 years) and still doesn't. For the slabs which I'm assuming is same as fusies. The odd vendor on ebay and amazon probably has / had them, claim to be NOS moog sometimes, price was probably $200+ for each one.
If there's any consistent supply or stock left of these things that are not repro's made in the last 10 - 15 years I'd like to know how / where / why. I can't see there being any more actual mopar-boxed one left.
Pitman arm even more rare. Idler arm looks to be rare now also. Don't see any of these on rock today.

Some of us have known that fact for 50 years…..
Welcome to the party….
That's an upper ball joint - scratch that, apparently it is a lower ball joint, but not for any C-body I know, will apparently fit '65 - '76 Coronet, otherwise it fits a bunch of other Mopars from '73 to '89. If I didn't know better it looks like an upper to me.
I dont understand what this means. Any help??
I do mean with the application info.....i dont need reminded about Chinesium or some such.
Hold the presses.
What does a Fury (slab or otherwise) lower ball joint (lower ball joint arm) look like? Because apparently the 719 threaded ball joint is correct for the Fury lower. I don't know what you call that part when you unscrew the ball joint from it - other than an "arm".
Can the Fury lower ball-joint arm be used on other C-bodies?

BUY IT , Try it, and get stuck with it then…..Don’t let me stop you….
I have said 500,000 times that if I received ONE PENNY for each WRONG LISTING that rock auto has , they would owe me more than One Million Dollars…..
Look at the picture of it —- can’t you S E E that it is 1000 %
WRONG ?????????
