Thanks for the input!

So I am in good spirits today! Gout it all together and put it on the ground and it sank like a rock!!! Here it is with 5 turns in on the T-bar adjusters per side. Pretty happy with the stance. It is 25” from floor to the wheel lip on the front across the wheel centerline. 6” from center of K...

Not 100% on topic but very related.... how do you guys “rough align” after a complete suspension rebuild? How do you at least get in the same zip code with everything?

haha! Yeah, it will all work out. Lol The bars are on the correct side (L vs R) but I don’t think there is a front and back. I installed the bars with the suspension down against k frame (no more travel). It may be that with the higher spring rate and weight of the car being light, I may...

There is no uca bump stop in place for Pictures. The when the suspension is in the up position picture (jack under car) it is just starting to touch the head of the adjusting screw that is just barely through the adjustment block. There is no load on the jack in that pic. It is just holding...

i agree. I have done that, just no pics yet. I just posted what I had. More to come.... Thanks for your help

very little if any preload and everything is loose. I put in standard rubber bushings in LCAs

It was late last night when I set it down on tires so no pics right now. I will take some soon. Here is a couple I took at free hang and then with what loading I could get on one side with a jack. Both with adjusters barely engaged

You are correct, I just lowered off the stands once I got the suspension on. It is at full weight. Still have not installed calipers and MC so I have not moved. How much will it drop once it moves? I am thinking I need 2 more inches to even be close to where I want it to sit. Thank you...

So I am finishing up a complete suspension upgrade on my 1972 Swinger. I have installed FFI tubular UCAs, rebuilt and boxed LCAs, PST Adj Strut Rods, 9/16” TREs, 73+ brake kit from Dr. Diff and FFI 1” T-bars. I installed the bars with the LCAs all the way down, actually had to lift them some...

Well I be danged! Haha. I swear I could not find them.

I just got some from Barracudakid! Thank you though

Cass was my first stop. He does not have rears just fronts!

Does anyone reproduce A Body rear shackle brackets? The brackets that bolts to the rear of the car frame with two bolts? Mine went to scrapyard with my old 7 1/4 rear! I have searched the net and can’t find..... Stupid.....

My Dart front suspension build thread is here. In a nutshell, I have a 1972 Dart, 318, 904 auto. I have done the following to the front suspension: Firm Feel UCAs 1" Firm Feel T-Bars Reinforced LowLCAs New LCA Bushings New Ball Joints 11/16" Tie Rod Ends and Solid Adjusters Adjustable...

What Leaf Springs do I need? I just about have all the upgrades to the front done and need to move to the back. I have priced ESOP 6-Leaf springs at Stock Height. Do I need 6- leaf or 5- leaf? Thanks,

Yes I remember and I hope I am surprised!!!!

PST and I am not sure on the coating......

Well, After much reading here and from all the replies.... I decided to spend the money and buy some parts. Overkill? Well maybe, but most stuff in this hobby is anyway right? I ordered the following for my Dart: Firm Feel 1.00 T-bars Firm Feel Tubular UCAs PST Adjustable Strut Rods PST...

Wow! Thanks for all the good info here!!!!

Thanks for all the responses!!!!!!

I have read about all the "handling" post that the search engine would help me find here at FABO. I am working on a 72 Dart and thought I would post to get some opinions on my specific build and end use. Hopefully some of the FABO Handling Experts will chime in. The car will be my daily...

I am thinking that while I am have my motor out, I would like to convert from power to manual steering. What are my options???? Here is what I think they are with some questions... Any help or input will be greatly appreciated. 1. Flaming River Manual Box and coupler. Where is the best...

Has anyone used a firm feel or Steer and gear box on their cars? I am running an OEM power box on my car and was wanting something with a little less "assist" to try and get some road feel..... These OEM boxes must have been designed for dump trucks or something.... I have been looking...
