The kit I'm looking at includes:
Swivel pins (not available separately)
Swivel pin seals
Cotters
Cotter nuts
Lock Washers
Thrust washers
Bushings
Lower fulcrum pins
Lower link bushes
Cork seals
About the only thing missing is the A-arm bushings and top trunnion set (a
separate kit).
I may not seem like you get much for that amount of money, but that's
another topic...
