It's been so long I can't recall. Does a manual steering box sector shaft have a master spline for the pitman arm?

Does anyone happen to know the size or dimensions of the large-ish o-ring that snugs up the steering column to the firewall? I realize DMT and others sell them, but if I knew the size, I can pick one up locally and not have to wait for shipping. Thanks!

I was getting ready to install the original steering coupler back in my 66 Dart and noticed the center piece at the bottom was loose and ended up falling out (dime-sized 'plug' next to it). Obviously, this would cause a mess and allow grease to leak out through the splines in the steering box...

For those of you running Rancho shocks with relocated springs, what model Rancho shock are you running? I see there are several that may work (999113, 999114, 999116, & 999118). Thank you!

I scored a great deal off craigslist over the weekend on some disc brake parts for a project of mine. Among them were a couple pin-type disc brake caliper brackets. The previous owner thought they were the larger 11.75" rotor variety. Is there an easy way to verify this? Thanks!

Does anyone know the OD of the upper and lower rear shock mount pins?

Did any stock A-body come with 5/8" front leaf spring mount pivot bolts? I'm trying to look up a torque spec, but am unsure which applications came with 5/8" bolts.

When aligning a rear axle so it's perpendicular with the car, what is generally accepted as the maximum amount of thrust? Would being within 1/8" from side to side at the ends of the axle be acceptable?

For folks who have relocated your springs into the frame rails by cutting BOTH sides of the frame rail, did you support the rear of the car? I'm wondering if the body would sag much with the back end not supported.

Does anyone know why the ID for MP relocation boxes are slightly wider than stock front leaf spring hangers? Just got my caltrac setup for relocated springs and noticed the inner sleeve for the front bushing is a bit wider than the stock front hanger.

Does anyone know off hand what gauge material Mopar stamped torsion bar crossmembers out of?

I bought the improved k7040 moog strut rod bushing and noticed there are no inner sleeves with them. How much do you tighten them without squishing them too much? Is there a special torque spec for them or is there a metal sleeve on the inside of the bushing? Thanks guys!

I need to buy strut rod bushings and have a couple questions since I've never done this before. I'm looking at buying the Moog 'improved' k7040 bushings. Do these come with an inner sleeve? Is the sleeve even necessary? It seems like it'd be impossible to reach the torque value without a...

Have you guys ever used polyurethane torsion bar grease boots from energy suspension or prothane? What's your take? Can you install them over the hex end of the torsion bar without splitting them? Does anyone make a rubber set that aren't $50 a pair?

While poking around in my garage, I found a pair of .890 bars. Currently, I've got /6 bars in my 340 dart. Would installing the .890 bars make the ride too harsh? Can I install them without disconnecting the spindles?

Need to get my Dart aligned. What's the easiest way of getting it close enough to drive to the shop? Ride height and air pressure are properly adjusted. Right now, I've got the UCA adjusters adjusted to give me the most caster possible. Should I just put a straight edge on the wheels and...

I recently took a power steer box out of my 68 Dart with intentions of switching to manual steering. When placing the manual steer box in place, I realized the mounting holes in the steering box were smaller (7/16" vs. 1/2" for the 68 Dart). I believe the manual box came out of a 65 Dart...

I tried taking my power steering column apart last night and ran into a little problem? What the easiest way to remove the upper bearing? Is it easier to just remove it all together and use a new one on the manual steering shaft? Does anyone have a part number for this?

I'm getting ready to swap out the shorter power steering shaft for a manual steering shaft in my 68 Dart. I've never had one of these things apart before. Is it pretty intuitive, or are there special tools needed? Which side does the shaft come out/go in? Lastly, are there any wear items I...

How difficult is it to replace a power steer shaft with a manual steer shaft? Do you of you have any tips or tricks? Is there an online tutorial out there? Lastly, while I have it apart, are there any serviceable items I may as well replace/restore??? Thanks!

What's the most economical way of converting from power to manual steering? I already have a manual box and coupler. But obviously the shaft is too short. Could I just weld in an extension on the shaft? Any downsides to that??? FWIW- I'm working with a 68 Dart.

For those of you whom have made one, can you post a picture of you homemade pinion snubbers???

Are the axle retaining nuts the same on a 7 1/4 and an 8 3/4?? I stripped one yesterday on my 8 3/4 and am trying to avoid making a run to the hardware store for one nut. I still have a 7 1/4 though, so I could pilfer a nut off that one. I'm away for work though and cannot check myself until...

Have any of you guys used a set of leaf springs from JR springs. It's my understanding that they sell 4-leaf and 5-leaf springs. How do you like them. I bought a set of the 5-leaf ones a while back when JC whitney had them cheap. For those of you whom have the 5-leaf version, can you post...

Can anyone tell me the order of the gaskets for an 8 3/4 rearend? Does the foam one go behind the backing plate, then the metal one goes between the bearing retainer and the backing plate? Do you guys smear and RTV or anything on any of them? I'm running green bearings and inner seals if that...

Has anyone relocated their springs 1/2" by just redrilling the holes for the front and rear hangers 1/2" inboard? I'm in the middle of doing this and it seems a lot easier and cheaper than just buying one of Mopar's offset kits. Also, why does Mopar advertise their kits as a 3/4" relocation...

What's the difference between tie rod end from a 62-69 A-body and a 70-76 A-body??? I'm looking at getting some tie rods for my 68 then noticed they are $35 APIECE! Whereas 70-up tie rod ends are only $10 apiece. What gives???

I've been out of the game for a while. Is there a good place that'll sell a manual steering box for a 68 A body? Everywhere I look, people want a million bucks for them. Why are they so expensive? I'm trying to convert my power set-up to a manual set-up. Does anyone wanna trade???

I'm converting my 68 Dart from drums to discs. I am using late model 73-up spindles and UCAs. Do I need the Moog K783 LBJ meant for 73-up A bodies, or do I need the K7023 made for 65-72 A bodies with discs??? For some reason, I thought my LBJs would work. :oops: I'm guessing I need the...

Would .890 bars be too stiff for a 66 Barracuda w/ 318? I have an extra set of bars and wanted to stiffen up the front end a little. The front tires are size 185/70/14s if that matters. Also I have a spare set of hp springs from JC Whitney I was panning on installing. Would this spring...
