Suspension and steering help

Mattax said
In simplest terms, the rear tires breaking loose; especially at higher speeds and/or slick down hills.
When that happens, its only a question of how much damage will be done.

Borgeson, if you can get it all worked out, is fine.
Probably best to go with Peter Bergman on that since he's dealt with the issues.

Don't need the following:
-PST Adjustable strut rods
-PST Pivot shaft
-PST Tubular Upper control arms
-PST Super poly front end kit

For street use I'd use polyurethane on the sway bar end links.
Maybe also the sway bar bushings - in which case get the 'polygraphite' or greasable mounts.
And if you are willing to do some fitting and measuring, the strut rod bushings.
With a B-body, I would like to think the aftermarket strut bushings are the correct dimensions, but assume they are not. See if AndyF or another trustworthy source has done the work on this. Hotchkis set up and run a B-body on tracks - so that's a good sign their stuff has been worked out. But your tires and intended use calls for a softer setup. There qalso may be some differences in '66 vs. next generation (for example in weight, or weight distribution) so keep that in mind.

Oh, that suprised me, why the hell would anyone mount rear sway bars then? :O

I'm kind of confused since I've seen alot of people strongly argue for the benefits of tubular UCAs both on this forum and elsewhere with the argument that the stock UCAs won't allow for a corrrect alignment for modern tires?

Looks like you have a good plan. If you are looking to improve the over all performance. I would continue with what you have listed. The tubular arms are huge improvement as they have improved designed over stock when it comes to ability fine tune the alignment as well as the adjustable strut rods as with the adjustable strut rods with heim joints allows the suspension to unload and load quickly and smoother through its range of motion.

As for the pivot shafts, are you looking at the greasable or the oem style ?

Front End Kit:

If you are going to use the tubular arms, strut rods and greasable pivot shaft you may want to save the money and go with the steering linkage kit instead of the super front end kit as it contains the part you need to complete the rebuild and not end up with duplicates

You may also want to consider lower control arm stiffening plates as well to tighten up the control arms.

I'm looking at the greasable type since that seems like an obvious upside - beeing able to grease moving parts is always a good idea...

The stering linkage kit actually seems like a good idea, but it's missing a couple of parts as far as I can see, lower ball joints, bump stops anc LCA bushings... Are the necessary bushings and endlinks included in the swaybar kits and Upper control arms?

Stiffening plates for the LCAs are already made and in place ;)
