Looking for upper and lower ball joints for 67 Toronado. Have one lower MOOG, still need an upper set and another lower one. I know I can buy it in a set, but I really want good quality. Delco, Moog, TRW. Have to pay someone to put these things in.

I can get you brand new Rare Parts pieces at a discount. I can order them and have them shipped direct to you from Rare Parts. According to their web site; however, there are two different sets of ball joints, depending on a casting # on the knuckle. E-mail me for details: drolds1@bellsouth.net. Thanks, Bob

Agree on Rare Parts being the best place to purchase front end parts for a Toro of that vintage...............may be the O-N-L-Y place!!!!! Can't he contact them directly?????

ROCKETMAN269V

Yes, he can contact them directly. The key word here is "discount". For example, the part #10231 from Rare Parts will cost him $146.78 ea. I can get it for $117.34. I have helped a number of people, including those overseas, get these parts at a reduced price. Rare Parts handles all of the shipping, which they quote me before anything is ordered, so I can give you a TOTAL cost to your door.

Thanks guys. Might have to hit you up on that offer. I was able to buy NOS Moog and TRW ball joints on ebay. Still need the other parts, but that will come later.

How good is the quality of Rare Parts? On level with Moog ?

Quick question regarding front end parts, what about Kanter? Any feed back on the quality? They have the ball joints for the 67 Toronado.
