    Massive caster variance Side to side

    ??? You mean offset bushings installed reversed?

    Massive caster variance Side to side

    Also look for a bent Lower Control Arm. One on left is bent. It's bent in the middle of the forged insert between the rivets that sandwich it to the rest of the LCA. Common place for them the bend.

    Massive caster variance Side to side

    Check the strut rod bushings on each side. Are they the same type? There are various rubber replacement ones. If someone replaced one side it may not have matched the other. Also there are two lengths of strut rods. One for 67-72 K-members and another for 73-76. Maybe they are mixed? I put a...

    ride height question

    Sounds like your new rear springs are a little lower than expected. I would just leave ride height alone. doesn't sound or look bad to me.

    ride height question

    .92" torsion bars will help. Do the tops of the rear wheel lips measure lower then the fronts? Probably would not lower front more. Or you can run these shorter bump stops...

    Idler Arm ID

    Since it points upward to the centerlink, IF it was an A-body Idler, it would be a 73-76 A-body. Do you have a known E/B body one? They are similar and this one didn't match a E/B body, then you could eliminate that possibility.

    Sway bar kit best options?

    Spools motor mounts hold up better. But if you buy special biscuit type with interlock that should be just as good. Spools have tighter clearance for running milodon race oil pans Spools are tougher to shim motor height up for header clearance Spools have the sway bar that is shorter for...

    Steering ratio doubler advice.

    I don’t have much to add to that. I just took the pictures when I had the opportunity. It just had a nicely fabricated support bracket.

    Sway bar kit best options?

    Mine are factory. The weld on ones are thicker. And didn’t exist in 1998 when I switched out my 68 Barracuda to 73-76 Kmember/Sway Bar setup

    Sway bar kit best options?

    Helwig. They supply bolt on front mounts. If you really want factory type buy the Hotchkis weld on tabs. E and A body use this same tab. Rear kit is adjustable with three settings. Hotchkis. Really nice detailed kits. Just more $$. They will come with a weld on tab. The sway bar middle is...

    Are those offset bushings or standard ?

    The man wants MORE caster. How about this idea?

    73 Duster 340 Suspension Recommendations

    Hellwig sway bar and bilstiens would be easiest for you labor wise. And will be noticeable. The 1.03 T-bars will be more noticeable than sway bar. The install is a little more involved and a skill level notch up. You can install moog 7103 offset bushings for more caster on your factory UCA’s...

    The man wants MORE caster. How about this idea?

    Inherent from design bump steer geometry is not that big of deal with stock Mopar systems. Especially with street driving. Even spirited street driving. Now if you have worn or incorrect parts that cause toe change and wondering then you have a problem. Most people call this bump steer. That’s...

    The man wants MORE caster. How about this idea?

    No. Toe is relative to driving surface (ground/horizontal).
  18. autoxcuda

    The man wants MORE caster. How about this idea?

    No. Not in a double wishbone suspension design with upper and lower ball joints.
  19. autoxcuda

    The man wants MORE caster. How about this idea?

    It's an oddball situation. Most people convert their disk with slider type nowadays. But a C.Y.A. opportunity. They now only make aftermarket slider type adapters for 11" and 12" disks. They do not reproduce pin type adapters. Pin type came on 70-72 cars and sporadic mid 70's B's. So rare...

    The man wants MORE caster. How about this idea?

    I had to read that a few times. And just read again. I'm not super clear if there were changes made without tested road time in between them. But it sounded like he ran 11.75 rotor w/calipers mounted in rear with 235/60/15 tires for 10 years. These deals can be tough to follow. The odd thing...

    The man wants MORE caster. How about this idea?

    I ran rear mounted Pin Calipers on 11.75" rotors with stock LBP UCA from 1993 to 2011. Lots of only car daily driver miles, road course and autocross track time... no issues. You just run a banjo ended brake line. I made up braided steel ones. Dr Diff sells them now. Personal preference, I...

    68 Barracuda Front Suspension Rebuild Kit

    Yes. It looks like a slider. And the piston housing looks like a slider. So need to check clearance. I see those marks, but don’t know what they are from I tried to put pin type calipers on the rear and it DID NOT work with those upper control arms. Interference

    68 Barracuda Front Suspension Rebuild Kit

    ...upper control arm when turning lock to lock. If it’s a Pin Type Caliper; it will hit when mounted in rear. But I’m not sure about slider types. ** Must check at ride height with wheels on ground ** Could limit turning radius and even cause the caliper to compress the disk like pressing on...

    68 Barracuda Front Suspension Rebuild Kit

    No. That is a 67 only stud mounted idler arm. It just has that single flange with a machined tapered insert that a tapered idler stud wedges into. That’s because you have a 1967 only K-member. Yes it’s a little inferior to the U-shaped bracket with through bolt idler design they used in 68-72...

    Front tire help 70 Duster

    So the tire rub in the back and the front ? 215/70/15 is a very large diameter tire. What are your front rim specs: width and backspace?

    Wrong sway bar

    Looks like a 67-72 type K-member since I don't see a hole through that a 73-76 style K-member would pass through it. Like junkyardhero said, you have slider calipers (73'-76') style and they are mounted on the front side of the spindle. To move them to the rear for sway bar clearance, you swap...

    Hotchkis or Hellwig Front Sway Bar?

    You’ll never feel the adjustable tubular upper control arms, custom strut rods, with those tires. The power steering you will feel. Just do the sway bar, shocks, and offset upper control arm bushings installed for more caster. Moog 7103 offset bushings. Thinking bilstien RCD shocks.

    Hotchkis or Hellwig Front Sway Bar?

    Most all need “modifications” which is would be an adapter plate. Those always lower the sway bar. The Hotchkis is morph between a 67-72 and the 73-76 style. I think they mount low, but check pictures

    Hotchkis or Hellwig Front Sway Bar?

    Go with the $100 less Hotchkis. They both have good attachment hardware. Hotchkis is a little fancier. As for the rest…. What size tires are you running. That will dictate where’s the last 10% at. Then you can work backwards from that.
