    What could cause this bent push rod (not a Mopar, but still…)

    406Dart, what’s the repair? Just replacing that lifter? All the lifters in that bank? All in the engine? Or is anything else needed? Thanks

    What could cause this bent push rod (not a Mopar, but still…)

    Not not a Mopar, but a general engine question. Posting here because of the wealth of collective knowledge in general. Last week wife was driving through the neighborhood collecting kids for carpool. 2018 suburban with 6.2 with 58,000 miles developed an engine noise/valve clatter. Truck gets...

    Basic mechanics: how do you actually manipulate upper control arm alignment cams?

    Gentlemen, good day. Before start with messing with my caster/camber alignment at home, I was hoping someone could clarify exactly how one manipulates the alignment cams on the upper control arms (1969 Dart). I understand the theory as what they are supposed to work, but there is no...

    Did I really mess this up? Rough alignment issues (uneven tie rod length) after steering box and spindle replacement

    So today I jacked him up and crawled under and evened out the tie rods. This resulted in the steering wheel being off by ~90* and suggested I had installed/connected the steering column to the box input nub by a 90* error at the shaft to box connection when doing the job by myself with the car...

    Did I really mess this up? Rough alignment issues (uneven tie rod length) after steering box and spindle replacement

    Soooo... I took it to the local shop that does alignments. I told the guy behind the counter the history and what I was trying to accomplish, starting with evening out the tie rods and going on from there. I provided a bulleted page of information including a note to disregard the factory...

    Did I really mess this up? Rough alignment issues (uneven tie rod length) after steering box and spindle replacement

    Did I really mess this up? Rough alignment issues (uneven tie rod length) after steering box and spindle replacement

    Thanks guys. I did just drive it for the first time in six weeks (and second time since I bought it and began "working" on a car that was "working" just fine). Drove great for an old car, and much improved from manual steering. Seemed to track just fine. I may just take it to the alignment...

    Did I really mess this up? Rough alignment issues (uneven tie rod length) after steering box and spindle replacement

    Gentlemen (and ladies), I would appreciate any thoughts on my situation. Car is a 1969 Dart Swinger 340. I Just replaced manual steering box with Peter's BAC Borgeson unit, and the spindles with Cass/Doctor Differential spindles for Stage 2 disc brakes so I could move up to 5x4.5 bolt pattern...

    Outside Door handle adjustment

    Thanks to this thread, I was able to fix the same problem on my car. However, on my car, the set screw actually took a T-25 Torx bit.
