new bushings
My Nova has been sitting in a barn for 13 years and all the bushings have rotted. I was wondering if I should go with a polygrahgite rebuild kit from pst or energy suspension or should I just get a reg rebuild kit. Ive heard the polygraghite kits become noisy after time. The car will be a daily driver with a run down the qtr mile every once in a while.

Well, Polygraphite advertizes that their stuff is quiet unlike Energy's. Their bushings are graphite impregnated (graphite is an excellent lubricant). This would lead me to believe that theirs would be the least likely to squeak. One huge plus to PST is you can get an entire suspension rebuild kit from them real cheap. Doing rubber through Moog is quite pricey if you also intend to replace tie rod ends and ball joints.
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
