thanks for the info.

I suspected something like that due to the lack of a ball joint. Thanks.

I have a pair of steering arms of unknown Mopar origin. The casting numbers are 3815710 and 3815711. They do not have an integrated ball joint, they have the socket. Can anyone tell me what they came from..??

We have the KYB's and like them. Some people say go with Bilsteins but we didn't like the price tag. The QA1's are nice if you want the adjustability.

My son has the MFR 2 inch drop spindles on his '68 Dart, with 1 inch torsion bars from Just Suspension and a Hellwig front sway bar. The thought with the drop spindles is we could get the car low and still have some suspension travel for compliance on bumpy roads. His Dart is lower than most...

Thanks for the info. What bugs me is this is a brand new Steer and Gear box. I'd really hate to have to pull it out and ship it for warranty work.....

I think I'm going to need to replace the pitman shaft seal on the power steering box in my 383 Dart. The service manual says it can be done in the car, using special tools. My question is, has anyone done this and where can I get the tools ?? TIA, Mark.

I have a pair of the Hotchkiss front spring hangers that should lower the back end of your car about an inch. We had them on my son's '68 Dart with the Hotchkiss springs, and it was too low, so we swapped back to the stock front hangers. PM me if you are interested. Actually, the Hotchkiss...

Keep in mind that if you want to back off the torsion bar adjusters, you need to do it with the front of the car off the ground to take most of the load off the screws.........

A question posed to those who are wiser than me.... I am looking into converting my son's '68 Dart to power steering over the holidays. I have started looking for a power steering shaft to replace the manual shaft in the column, and a few people have suggested just tapping the end of the...

Gonna be converting to power steering over the holidays, and I was looking for opinions on the Firm Feel stage 2 power steering versus the Steer & Gear power steering. Is either one noticeably better/worse? How is the feel of each box? Are they both 16:1 ? The Steer & Gear box is slightly...

I think you mean .92....

We also have the 1.00 bars from Just Suspension on my son's '68 Dart with KYB shocks. That combination is quite firm with the 318 in the car now, but we have plans for a 383 in the car in the future. For the price you can't beat them. I'd say unless you want a really soft ride, go with the...

Just providing another possble route to take..... no offense intended.

I would have to disagree here, at least in part. I have the Hellwig front bar on my son's '68 Dart, with '68 k-member, '73 LCA's and '73 calipers with 11-3/4 rotors. The calipers are mounted to the rear, as it appears yours are based on the dust shields in your photo. I dont' know if the Hellwig...

My son's Dart has the Hellwig 5906 front bar and it fits like a glove. Can't tell you before/after because we didn't dirve the car before we installed it (had other suspension issues). The car has slight body roll in the turns, but very benign. Hangs low in front of the K-member, but that's...

If you like to drive at 7/10ths or better on the mountain roads, it'll help. If you just want to cruise below the point where the groceries start to slide across the seat, save your money...... just my .02

Fronts are 205/50-16 on 16x7 Torq Thrust IIs with 4 inch bs. Rears are 245/50-16 on 16x8 Torq Thrust IIs with 4.8 bs. Eventually we'll go to 17x7 front with 225/45-17, 4.75 bs and 17x8 rear, 245/45-17 with 5.25 bs. The current wheels work, but rub occasionally, like when turning into an inclined...

What are your alignment settings? If you're not running a little negative camber up front, going a little negative would reduce understeer for less than the cost of a rear bar. Addition of a rear will reduce body roll even further and trend the car toward oversteer, depending on its stiffness.

My son's '68 Dart, his first car. 4.5 inches under the K-member. Can't go any lower without dragging the exhaust on the speed bumps in our neighborhood. Hotchkiss springs with stock front mounts in back, MFR 2 inch drop spindles with 1 inch torsion bars and 11-3/4 drilled/slotted discs in front.

Hellwig makes an adjustable rear bar, which would give you some chassis tuning ability, depending on what you want for handling. A rear bar is always a good idea, but as mentioned, too stiff is bad because it can cause your car to oversteer. We have the Hellwig solid front bar kit on my son's...

My son's '68 Dart uses a Hellwig sway bar that uses tabs that attach to the LCA shock mount bolts. I'm sure it would attach to the existing LCA tabs also. Included brackets to attach to existing holes in the K member. Installed easily, works well. Here's the link to Summit...

In my case, I have frame rail caps installed, so I don't think the Hotchkiss mount would fit unless I modified it. You'll have to do a little welding in either case. I have the Hellwig front bar and like it, so I would probably go with the Hellwig rear. If weight is critical to you, then get...

I ended up going with the 1 inch bars from Just Suspension. They are quite firm, but not unreasonable.

I can't take credit for this idea, but I thought I'd pass it along with added detail after seeing it on another Mopar forum. I've tried putting the urethane boots in boililng water, which did nothing at all. I've heard about putting them in the microwave, but that seemed too risky. What worked...

Yeah, lots of good info there. I see Autoxcuda doesn't worrry about them if they won't fit.... and he has the road racing exp that I like to borrow from. So if they won't fit I won't bother with them. thanks.

I have just installed a set of Moog 7103 offset bushings in the UCA's on my '68 Dart ('73 disc front end). The bushings come with "ferrules" that you are supposed to press onto the ends of the bushings before installing the arm. My problem is that the bushings don't fit between the upper...
