Moog upper and lower ball joints

New motor mounts
Tranny mount

Ineed a drag link, lugs, Tie rod ends and u joints
Are there any bolts Im gonna break and should have on hand? Parts store is 30 miles away, and if its prone to breaking I want it on hand.
Also anyone have a part # for spicer axle U joints?

Rear upper shock mount bolts usually break. They are 5/16 bolts 1 1/4" long. Search around and you should find some write ups on how to fix it.

I would also pick up some longer brake lines. I pretty much stopped buying spicer u-joints since there cross shafts are mad in china now. There not much different then all the other companys now.
