1969 Dodge Dart Swinger clean up
Sway bar up into place.
I used the poly bushings from the PST 98105 kit and the correct OE style link bolt and cup washers from the other kit I bought. FS0088A from National Moparts, they are also available from Jeff at 521 Restoration.
Mix and match. Poly bushings, OE repro link bolt / washers / nuts.
Sway bar link tightened into place on both sides.
Cleaned up the missing paint with a foam brush and my semi-gloss mix.
Cleaned up the inside of the wheels.
Wheels on.
Wheels torqued. A bodies are only 55 ft-lbs on their 7/16-20 studs. This car has 7/16" rears and 1/2" fronts on the Wilwood disc hubs, so 65 ft-lbs on the fronts.
Getting close!
Alternator back on with a new belt.
