    Im an Aussie trying to get some specific steering/ suspension parts for my 68 Barracuda.Looking Rock Auto and see they offer a few brands...Im guessing price isnt always a good gauge of quality, and dont want to buy parts that finally get here and dont fit ( Ive just read a thread re this...

    Adjustable Strut Rods

    Can someone school me on these please? I would have thought the way the bottom control arm is mounted on the pin and the torsion bar in the back of it, that there would be limited movement available in this area? Am I wrong?

    68 Barracuda Idler Loose

    Dumb question....pulled this thing apart today and the sleeve through the bush looks to be the only thing that contacts the inside of the bracket, there are some foam washers that come with the idler but they would offer no stability...I dont have a washer but that leads me to this question...If...

    68 Barracuda Idler Loose

    I had a lot of steering issues and discovered my idler arm had a HEAP of up and down movement...I shipped a brand new Moog arm out to Australia, fitted it and although better, its not as firm as I had hoped. The bush end of the arm fits in the notch ok, it came with foam style rings that I...

    Negative camber?

    Here in Australia Ive always set them up with 1/4 to 1/2 NEG cambers,around 1 1/2 to 2 degrees caster with about 1/2 degree offset across the car and around a 1/16 in...I find zero cambers and low caster causes a lot of skittery steering,constant correction and bad feelings on turns...not to...
