I had this very same problem. It would be a good idea to remove your lower control arms(LCA's), and check out the hole in you K member for the LCA pin. One of the welded in bushings of the K member of my 73 Dart Sport had broken loose from the K member and was wobbling around allowing the LCA...

The last two attached images of the bullet hole I found in the trans tunnel were not meant to be uploaded here but enjoy them anyway. My Dart Sport has lead a hard and interesting life before me. I should find out where it has been. One thing for sure, whatever transmission that was in the...

I know my phone does not take very good quality pictures, but I lost the cable for my better camera. The old lower control arm rubber bushings. Strut rods shortened 3/4" to make up for poly bushings and welded on washers over worn out holes in k member for the strut bars. New...

Thanks! That's my plan, currently ordering a couple more parts for the job, figured I should redo all the brakes as well.

So I have been working on the car on weekends when I have time. Replaced the bushings and ball joints on the control arms. Fit and welded sway bar tabs. Did the lower control arm repair as in the video. They are good and tight now, still move but absolutely no slop. Instead of boxing in the...

Now that I fixed a cracked transmission by building/installing a different 904 with some upgrades, I am back to the suspension on this car. I did not get adjustable strut rods-not yet anyways. But after close inspection, I did fine at least 2 ball joints having play, so now I am replacing...

It's been awhile since I updated this thread. Between family stuff and side projects I have left the Dart tucked away under a cover in the car port waiting patiently for me to start working on it. I just seen the free shipping offer for orders over 99 bucks on summitracing and bought a...

More to think about, thank you. I will get pictures up when I tear the front apart again. One thing I know for sure, is my set of lower control arms are not as tight as any of the others I have seen. I would like to keep the poly bushings, if someone is using a set and can chime in on how...

Thanks for the warning. Luckily I will not be driving it until after a front bar is installed as well. The thing currently will not stay aligned, and I haven't had it above 20 mph in awhile.

Just a quick update, I got a new in box rear sway bar from a friend for 75 bucks, he got it at a swap meet recently and didn't need it anymore. Anyways, I installed the kit Addco 919, it fit just fine, had to drill 4 holes into the frame rails to mount it. Anyways, I've been busy with family...

I DID! :blob: THANKS for this link. This is exactly the problem my LCA's were showing. I did look at some different ones we had off of cars at the shop I work at, a set from a 71 Cuda and a 69 Charger, both were tight and had barely any play, so I know something is wrong with the ones on my...

@ 2 Darts: The car currently has no sway bar, but I want to install one. A sway bar would help tie everything together in my thinking. The poly bushings fit very good. Nice and tight fit when used the press to put them in. The whole center section of the lca with the arm where the torsion bar...

Oh, I did look at my strut bushings, they seem fine. I like the idea of adjustable strut rods, but they seem pretty pricey, going to shop around and see what my options are. I am visualizing how slightly too long strut rods could let both caster and toe change if the rods are not holding the...

Thanks for the quick response, I thought about what you said, and it makes sense to me. I searched adjustable strut rods and one of my first results was this page: http://www.firmfeel.com/adjstrut.htm *Note I did put in polyurethane lca bushings from Prothane Motion, so this seems to sound like...

Hi, I am still pretty new to posting on FABO, so please bear with me(haven't figured out how to post pictures here yet). A couple months ago, I removed the lower control arms in my 73 Dart Sport as they were moving around so much I could not even get the toe anywhere close to correct. After...

The ones I removed were rubber, the new bushings are polyurethane. Again, it fit perfect, pressed right in. I did try to look up the old part's number, but it seems to be a product that is no longer available. Could be a part designed to replace the factory bushing without an outer shell, that...

I replaced the shot rubber lower control arm bushings in my 73 Dart Sport today and the outer shells were already out, so I am guessing they were replaced a time or two. The rubber bushings I removed said HARRIS FG 6H95 on them. The parts I used went in perfect and what a happy guy I am...
