    Suspension Assembly Help

    You are the winner, SirDan! Two different lengths it is. I was sweating this big for a second. I need to remember to take EVERYTHING out of the box BEFORE I start putting things together :oops:

    Suspension Assembly Help

    I tried that last night and it would seat just fine. It is difinitely the bushing holding me back.

    Suspension Assembly Help

    Hey all. I'm putting the suspension back on my '72 Duster and I've run into an issue and need some advice. I've got stock lower control arms with new pivot shaft bushings and new bumpstops on them. I'm using the Mancini strut rods and Moog strut rod bushings (#K7040). I got the passenger...

    Strut Rod Bushing Question for '72 Duster

    Thanks for the help on this James. That page will also come in handy! Also, I did go ahead and get the Moog part, K7040. I talked to Mancini and they said that part number would work with their strut rods. I'm not trying to knock anything that PST does (I'm using their kit on everything else...

    Strut Rod Bushing Question for '72 Duster

    So it sounds like I need to get a set of good Moog bushings...so I guess I have a new question. Like I mentioned above, because there are two different strut rod designs (Pre '73 fine thread and '73&up coarse thread), there are two different Moog bushings (K7068 for the '73&up and K7040 for the...

    Strut Rod Bushing Question for '72 Duster

    So you just push/hammer it in from the front of the K member, taper pointed out the back towards the control arms? Sounds easy enough.

    Strut Rod Bushing Question for '72 Duster

    There were no instructions with the kit. I got it from PST. Also, does it matter that I have the Mancini Racing strut rods? They're not the adjustable kind but they are a slightly different design that the factory originals. Don't have a pic of them right now. Can maybe get one tomorrow...

    Strut Rod Bushing Question for '72 Duster

    I am rebuilding the suspension on my '72 Duster and have a question about the strut rod bushing. The bushing I received in my kit is not like the bushing I pulled out of the car (see picture for the new bushing). I have a few questions about this bushing: 1. Is this the right bushing? 2. What...

    '72 Frame repair

    After talking with my guy and seeing my car for the first time in about three weeks, I'm actually going to need more than just that cross-member piece. I'm actually going to need the entire piece of sheet metal where it starts sloping up and over the rear end (right after the tranny tunnel, part...

    Awesome. I didn't realize it was you Rob. I'm talking to my chassis guy tomorrow. I'll see what he says.

    '72 Frame repair

    The way he made it sound, he needs the entire big piece like what crackedback is showing is his reply and he would trim off of it what he needs. The rear floorboards are still in tact, minus needing some minor patches here and there. So maybe just the cross-member? He's already out of the shop...
