    Need help with UCA bushings

    There was a set of directions in my boxes of K7103's indicating the need to press in the washers. I'm guessing the boxes that mvh received had been "looked in" before and returned with something missing when they went back on the shelf................

    Problem Swapping to LBP on A-Body

    Sounds to me like they used drum brake spindles for their kit. Drum brake spindles have through holes for a bolt and a nut, which you discovered in your shop manual. Perfectly normal (but annoying).

    While I would love to see some head-to-head comparisons both on the track and the street, I have to admit I am doing this more for the weight loss, improvement in steering response and the plethora of engine options that open up as a result than I am strictly for the handling improvement. I...

    tie rod upgrade

    You want the C-body units, they are 11/16 versus the A-body 9/16 and have the correct taper for the center link and ball joints. Part numbers: Moog ES352R - outers Moog ES355RL - inners Moog ES440S - sleeves Get two of each (though I believe the sleeves come two to a box). Good luck!

    Best K-Frame for improved handling?

    Good point, the current XV Stage II system is an aluminum K-member, Corvette aluminum spindles and lower arms, so absolutely no kinship with the Control Freak setup. Though my feeble brain says that when XV first appeared with their first Challenger in the magazines a few years ago they...

    Thanks for dangling that carrot (I'm working towards my Master's at night, and Thursday night is the last class before finals) but I'll buck my usual trend and be a responsible adult. :snakeman: In fact I timed my project purchases such that they wouldn't arrive and be laying on my garage...

    autoxcuda: Thanks! I have a tremendous amount of interest in spending some time on the track, unfortunately, timing for me is terrible for the Spring event. I already have two conflicting activities that weekend. I am however adding the October event to my calendar so I can plan for it in...

    Best K-Frame for improved handling?

    Just got off the phone with Bill at RMS: no swaybar available for the Early-A kit. May be forced to buy the swaybar setup from Magnum Force and fabricate brackets to accommodate the AlterKtion setup. :wack: Not happy..............
