Topic: 65 front suspension parts for PS V8

[jwc66k]

I got a pair of lower arms from NPD and was moderately pleased with them. They were labeled Scott Drake, and that name was engraved on the top between the sway bar end mounting and the ball joint. Some sanding, spot putty and paint resolved that. There are zerk fittings but plugs took care of that. The pivot bushing is mounted properly and there are jacking tabs.

Here are original used parts I found on ebay (below). Can anyone see any problems with using thses for V8 and power steering application after they have been cleaned and painted? One set of lower control arms are restored and one is not (cheaper, but I can't tell the condition of the jacking tabs). Same for the tie rods, one set restored and one not. I'd like to buy the unrestored parts and save some money if possible.

Most of the items may be "restored", if you can find NOS or correct - bushings (lower arms, spring perches), ball joints (upper and lower arms) and seals (ball joints, tie rod ends).
There is no claim I could see stating the 2nd item (lower control arms) that they were restored.
The "restored" tie rod ends use an aftermarket type sleeve and clamps, the correct types are visible in the unrestored ends, it's the ridge along the clamp which matches a raised bump on the sleeve. The hardware is not shown but the bolts for the LH power steering tie rods use a special square shoulder bolt (376179-S2) and the clamp has a 3/8 inch square hole for the bolts. The nuts may be the wrong type as well.
