    Switching to manual steering. Column coupler up to the task?

    That's good to hear, I have the one piece adapter that Mancini sold, but my main concern was the long term durability of the PS coupling, as I thought maybe it wasn't designed for the stresses of turning a manual box. My box is slow ratio, so that will mean it's not too hard to turn, but hoping...

    Switching to manual steering. Column coupler up to the task?

    I'm removing my power steering and putting an alloy manual box in. Wondering if the coupler on the power steering shaft is strong enough to use with manual steering? Anyone had any issues? Is there a difference between power and manual steering couplers?

    Anyone ever use two left SS 003 springs?

    Thanks guys, from what I'm seeing I should be able to use two lefts, I'm using a feather duster rear bumper so not too heavy out back.

    Anyone ever use two left SS 003 springs?

    Been thinking about using two right Super Stock springs on my duster but wondering if anyone has used two left springs, and if so what was it like and how high did the rear sit? I've been wondering if the right side springs would have the rear sitting too high on my duster.

    2002 SS springs or 6 leaf 3" lift springs?

    Wondering about putting two RH 002 SS springs on my duster verses 3" lift springs? I've had 3" lift springs before and they were very stiff, which is OK but I wondered about the quality of those springs, (looked crude and started to drop a little) and thought about trying two RH SS springs this...

    Extended bump stops on rear axle? Anyone done this?

    Wouldn't be limiting travel, because the springs would be physically higher to start with.

    Extended bump stops on rear axle? Anyone done this?

    Hoping for a similar rake to your's, I had 3" lift on my 69 dart in the past, want similar on my duster but don't want to rub the tires, surely if the springs have a 3" lift then extending the bump stops a similar or slightly less amount should be fine?

    Extended bump stops on rear axle? Anyone done this?

    Yeah, I'm looking for a 70's look, but don't want to have those problems that come with that sort of crazy 70's style.

    Superstock Springs @#$%^&@#^%&

    I had similar variation on one of my darts, It appeared to be a case of a Friday afternoon car, it had poor tolerances everywhere.

    Extended bump stops on rear axle? Anyone done this?

    Anyone with tires wider than the rear wheel opening lip, use a spacer to for their bump stops to limit tire to fender rub? My 295's will just hit the fender lip on the rear of my duster, I don't want to tuck the wheels in, but thought extending the bump stop might help with tire rub. Anyone done...

    Manual Steering ratio, recommendations? 16 or 24 to 1?

    I'm picking all the reproduction boxes out there are either 24 or 16, where would I easily and cheaply find a 20-1?

    Manual Steering ratio, recommendations? 16 or 24 to 1?

    Wanting to switch to manual steering but not sure what ratio steering I should go for. Car is 75 duster glass hood and bumper, iron head 360, with 165 tires on the front. I had 69 dart with glass hood, and 185's up front, and 20-1 steering which I felt was pretty heavy parking with a 13"...

    Using two RH Super Stock springs?

    I was thinking the 002's I definitely want some rake to my duster. I don't think torque will be an issue (mild 360).

    Using two RH Super Stock springs?

    Hi Guys, was wondering if any of you had used two RH super stock springs, rather than a matched pair to get the car to sit level and if they had any issues doing this?

    Leaf spring front eye bush size 74 duster?

    Hi all, who can tell me what size the front bush on my leaf springs on my 74 duster should be? Looks like a 5/8 bolt but the bush diameter looks less than 2" but more than 1 1/2". I haven't pulled in out yet to confirm, I been having trouble finding one, but find lots for 75-76 dusters, I would...

    Weld in subframe connectors for 76 Duster

    US Car Tool say if it doesn't fit I can send back, but either way I agree it shouldn't be too hard to modify to fit.

    Weld in subframe connectors for 76 Duster

    Thanks for that, I haven't heard back from US Car Tool, maybe they just haven't tried their connectors on a 76, but they only list up to 75.

    Weld in subframe connectors for 76 Duster

    Hi all, wondering does anyone know if the catalytic converter hump on the 76 dusters means that the subframe connectors US Car Tool make don't fit? I would have thought the hump would be inboard of where the rails go?

    5 or 6 leaf rear springs?

    Just want a nice handling road trip car, not a solo racer that rattles your eyeballs, so this is what I have so far on the car. Its a 318/904 T-bars are same as what the 340 had, I think they are quite stiff, and handles pretty good without a sway bar even. I've got a skinny factory 7/8" front...
