I checked Rancho and a few others and came up blank. Hellwig does indeed list a front & rear bar for the `09-10 1500 2wd P/U which is exactly what I'm dealing with. The shocks I found, but the bar was a problem. I'll call and make sure it's for the coil spring application. This makes my life...

I'm trying to locate a rear sway bar for a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 pick-up. It has the coil spring rear suspension set-up, NOT leafs. I'm having a difficult time finding a rear bar & heavy duty shocks. Any help/ideas/leads? All the sites I've hit only have leaf spring applications.

I bought mine off of e-Bay YEARS ago for about $90..... They are from Competition Engineering. What I like about them is they drop down a bit so you don't have to monkey around with the emergency brake cable or slicing the floor pan. Here I'm test-fitting the connectors after trimming them. I...

I saw your post and thought I had to edit something.... :-D I'd go with the best possible part I can find for suspension parts. DON'T cheap-out with inferior imported parts. Go with MOOG or TRW for all suspension pivots. Save money on non-critical parts, such as inexpensive carpet or DIY...

I have to edit myself here because I'm not thinking (or reading) correctly: Do you have the poly bushings on the lower control arms? If so, this is probably your problem as they are known to slide off of the pins for the LCA's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEVER install these when I do a poly kit. First of...

You guys are lucky I photograph everything I do..... Here's the control arm holes on my Dart when I rebuilt it 3 years ago. Here's what they should look like: DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SIDE

Check to see if the lower control arm anchor hole has cracked in the K frame. This causes the control arm to shift on bumps and produce a nasty noise over bumps, but is hard to diagnosis because when you raise the front end up, the tension of the torsion bars will make everything appear tight...

All good advice, but I feel obligated to include a safety heads-up..... When adjusting your steering box make sure the steering wheel returns to center after making a turn! I've seen guys over-adjust the steering box and go for a road test and after making a turn, the steering wheel would NOT...

Throw some KYB gas shocks on there and you'll be amazed it's the same car....8) Adding a Poly-Graphite rebuild kit should be mandatory on our old Mopars. It makes THAT much of a difference. I haven't installed mine yet, but people say adding sub-frame connectors now will also dramaticly improve...

Installing sub-frame connectors is the very next project I have planned. If `67 doesn't have a photo sequence, I'll photograph my install. Mine are Comp Engineering and are different from what was originally posted, but I'm more curious about the ride difference as my car is pretty tight to...

With a 4 spd. I think some kind of restraint is required. I went with a Schumacher mount too. I found it on e-Bay $50 shipped to my door. A piece of chain or a turnbuckle and eyelets would work too, but it's a matter of what your looking for as far as form or function. I chose form with...

Actually, I was just shocked to see the stocker go tits-up on me.... And yes, I want another 7 1/4, NOT an 8 3/4. No need to bring a gun to a knife fight. If someone out here in the city has one laying around, PM me. I'm sure there has to be one out there.... :-D But seriously, I'm thinking...

Of all things to go bad, the rear in my 84K mile slant 6 Dart has decided to become a cemet mixer. I drive the damn thing back & forth to work 6 miles in traffic most of the time! Last night it started grinding and holding back. I threw it up on the lift tonight at work and I dropped the...

Yo Johnny! That Dart is looking absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!! As for the SS springs, I believe they are designed that way (hence the two different part numbers...) so you pre-load the right rear tire so it launches straight. You *might* be able to tweak the ride height with the torsion...

And he's been dealt with.... Where do those %$#@#$% come from? And what makes them think that they're getting anywhere hawking their crap? Styling tools for wigs? In an automotive forum? PLEASE go kill yourselves Damn spammers !!!!!

But.... $400 for the safety & security knowing that your not going to lose a balljoint or tie-rod is priceless. WAAAAAY back when I first started my project, before I dropped in an engine, I rebuilt the ENTIRE suspension, steering, and brake systems in my car. And I mean EVERYTHING! Torsion...

Dude... when I say details, I'll not only include pictures, but probably a description of what I had for breakfast too. :-D Of course I'll snap pics... That's the best way for everyone to see what works...and maybe what will NOT work. Details (with pictures...) to follow. 8)

I bought a set of 2" lifted springs from Espo's Springs & Things. I think I paid about $200 for them and picked them up at the spring swap meet at Englishtown, which is this weekend... Car sits nice... plus with the .920 bars up front I can negotiate the mean streets of NYC without fear of...

I've ordered from Mancini's several times and I've had no problems at all and very fast delievery. Now, I bought a set of Comp Engineering sub-frame connectors that appear to drop down in the center. I wonder if I really want these on a street car.... I'll dig them out tomorrow and test fit...

Here's another solution: http://www.bigblockdart.com/techpages/connectors.shtml

The only thing I don't like about the manual steering in my small block street car is when I installed the smaller diameter steering wheel. The steering effort (naturally...) went up. With the stock diameter wheel it was fine. Years ago I had a manual steering 383 `68 Barracuda and parking was a...

I had to modify a post. I can honestly say it's a BAD idea for anyone to condone a post about driving while impaired. I know it was done in a harmless manner, but in this day & age of everyone looking to blame someone else, I think it's in OUR best interest to try and steer away from topics like...

Read through this link. It may answer a few questions you haven't had a problem with yet. http://www.moparts.com/Tech/Archive/susp/7.html

I would have had it posted faster but I had to pour my coffee.... 8)

I'll second that.... It should be a drop-in swap. Refer to this link I found on MoParts: http://www.moparts.com/Tech/Archive/steering/7.html As much as I dislike dealing with some of the "regulars" that seem to be the core voice on MoParts, there IS a ton of great information in their archives.

When I first dragged home my car I replaced the steering box and had a ***** of a time getting that coupler off! I finally sprayed it with a GOOD quality rust penetrant (remember the old Mopar thick grey foamy penetrant? In the blck,white,& grey can? Best stuff ever made...) and I let it soak...

The answer is simple: Mongo the Ape Boy got his hands on your car. In my line of work I see this all the time. People who do this stuff should have their Fischer-Price tool sets taken away from them... I'll have to agree with CudaChick. Time to hone your bodywork skills.

Yeah...these things twist REAL easy! The link below not only shows you how to make a pair of frame rail connectors, but how to install them. Although it's not mentioned, you can see in the photographs that the car is supported on jack stands for the installation. In a recent issue of either...

Frame ties make a noticeable difference in how the car handles, but I would recommended waiting until the car is assembled and sitting square and level before welding them in. You wouldn't want to weld in the sub-frame connectors on the rottiserie and hold the car out of alignment. These cars...
