I would say depends on wha box you have. Some have a nut (lock nut)on top with (what looks like a bolt stud) with a slit for screwdriver on top. Loosen the nut turn the stud to tighten up.

stroker. I would have taken the LCA off the spindle. That way it would drop more and hope to get you closer to lineing up. But not sure if I would have used those bars.

My springs were so shot. When I got the car, it had a class III hitch welded to the frame. Not sure what they were pulling. I bought some XHD and lifted mine bout 3 in. But it looks great to me anyway.

/6 to V8 conversion mounts. I would suggest changing the T-bars as well for better handling.

Thanks for clearifying guys. It has been awhile since I swaped out my frontend.

When I swaped the front suspension from a 71 to a 74 I found out there are different A-arms. I may be mistaken but per 72 are pressed in and the later (73) is screw in. Hemi71 has a pic of what looks like a 72 and older. That is why when you upgrade to disk brakes you want the newer a-arms (73+)...

I used an air chisel and hammer like Red said. Took a lot of beating to get them to move. Then took to a shop and had pressed in, cost like $10 for all. But they did bend one of the control arms where the bushing went in. Since we did not inspect them before hand, they said it was bent when I...

Hey all. I am bout to replace my torsion bars from /6 to 890 bars from a V8. I know there is a left and right side. But do the number go to the front or rear? Or does it matter? Thanks. Jeff

Thanks all. should probley get a manual for the car But then nobody would ask questions here right? Again thanks.

thanks bbswinger. Is that factory or just where you have it set? any alignment issues?

Thanks Dartnut. Thats the info I am looking for. Not sure what rough ride height is.

power steering hose 3' long? Little new at this but that seems to long to me. What kind of car?

Hey all. I am getting ready to replace my /6 torsion bars with some .890 . I am wondering what is the correct ride height to set the car up when i complete this. I know it sits to low now and its hard on the tires. Iwill be getting new tires and wheels for the front and just wanna make sure all...

Had the same issue last summer. I used moog. Not a racer or full restore, just a driver. I figure the factory stuff lasted 30+ years it should be good for some time.

Thanks for posting the pics. I am changing mine out later this summer. But I hope you are not using the pipe wrench for removal or your not reusing the bars. that wrench could gague the bars making them usless. Just a thought.

Some auto parts stores have a tool loan program. Basicly you buy the tool and get a refund when you return it. I would try that route first. Then a pipe wrench if needed. Just make sure to get the threads started good when installing.

Are you sure you did not mount them backward? If I remember correctly the short end of the springs go to the front.

These numbers are great to know. I just put BBP on my 71 Swinger, eye balled it, drove great to the shop. When I picked it up drove like crap. When I finish my winter project of motor swap I will take the numbers back to the shop and get it fixed. This is truley a great place for any info...

Great write-up. I need to do the same to my car. Still trying to figure out what springs I want to use and where to get them from.

Why are the Jegs XHD springs for A-body 64-75 twice as much as the others? I am wanting a set but pay twice as much? DAMMMMMMNNNN!!!!

Also it could be that some of the cars you were looking at had a different amount of fuel. A galon of gas wieghs about 8 lbs. A full tank will sit lower. just my .02

If those are new tires, I would say you need major front-end work!!! Welcome to FABO.

first measure the height of the finder lip before you start, will help in step 14. If I am not mistaken 9 and 10 kinda go together. The bars slide in from the rear of the car, once started through the socket slide the boot on from the front. then push the bar up to the lower control arm. the...

The spring perch is about right. The frame rails for the car and the truck are the same difference apart, but its the measurement from backing plate to backing plate that is the BIG difference. The truck axel will stick out from under the wheel lip of the car.

I have one on my car. the tire is a 235/?- 15. 7 inch wheel but cant remember the backspacing. As far as the srpingsgo I think it was only a 1/2 difference total, not per side. either way just spread them a little. but my car has not been driving like it is, still working on that one

When I removed mine I done as redfish said. removed the tension from the bars, popped the upper ball joint, unbolted the k member and just pulled it forward. don't drop the k member to far or when the bars come out they will pop up and slap the car. may scare to piss out of ya. Have not put bars...

Hey all. I have tore apart the front end of my 71 Swinger in hopes of rebuilding it. As I was tearing it out I noticed that one of the strut rods was bent. I have done some searching but can't find a place to get factory strut rod. I have found sets of them on some vendors sites but I just need...

I heated mine up a little then squirted some penratrating oil. placed the nut back on and hit with a BFH and it popped off. then remove the nut and slide out.

Thanks Demon. I am not putting a bar on as of now. May change in a few years. I will be using the 71 LCA and 74 everything else. The question i had is for the brakes in general. I wanna make sure I get all the nuts, bolts washers and screws that are needed to do the swap. And the torque specs so...

OK, I have my "new" BBP front suspension from a 74ish Dart to replace mine on my 71. I am getting it all cleaned up, primed and painted, and will be installing new bushings. I don't have a factory service manual and was wondering if some one has a diagram of the front. I wanna make sure I get...
