72 Dart - slow revival
Got the new bushing into the LCA with new PST greaseable pivot shaft and torsion bar adjuster:
Here is a comparison of the stock V8 torsion bar against the new PST 1.03"
Getting things buttoned back up with the new balljoints, control arm bushings, and Mancini Racing strut rod:
Also picked up some new dust shields off ebay
Finally the finished product. Note I had to use a small die grinder and file to allow for the new brake hoses to go back into the factory location with the OEM clips.
Overall I'm very happy with the result. I only took one pic of the driver side, but the result was the same. I also left out me wrestling with my old hard crusty tires on the tire machine to dismount from the small bolt pattern and mount to big bolt pattern 14" rally wheels - for the sole purpose of keeping the car a roller (I destroyed the bead, but hey they're holding air!). I'm still debating using some 15" rally wheels or police wheels for the final finish. Still plenty of time though to ponder that thought. Next up is tie rods and then on to the rear where I have an 8.75 waiting to be cleaned up and installed. Any thoughts on the offset spring hangers? I'd like to get as wide a tire as I can in the rear without a mini tub or spring relocation kit.
