    Torsion Bar ID help

    Yes, will fit, but not operate as designed! Mopar torsion bars are preset at the factory in the direction of use. You can observe this preset by laying the bars down on a flat surface and observing how the bar is twisted. The driver’s side bars will have a 30 degree right hand twist. A...

    Torsion Bar ID help

    Cant send you a message since your box is FULL! You say the alum wheel is about 14lb and the steels are like 28. I've ALWAYS wondered but never took the time to weigh. When I put the Rallyes on I felt they were WAY heavy! Anyone elso have some figures on alloy vs steel wheels?

    Torsion Bar ID help

    I cant answer- but discovered the .890-891/273-318 bars were backwards, but I cant say if they had any affect on the slight wallow ing I am feeling. Will be putting 340 bars and front sway bar on in spring........

    Torsion Bar ID help

    I'll probably add a factory sway bar too. Always interested in weight loss, so the sway bar wont help; figured you have alum heads/front cover/water pump/intake. Add in the hood and as you say, thats getting into SB territory (those parts are available for SBs too!) I was surprised at how heavy...

    Slight wallowing during corning......

    THANKS, again. this was minor; the shocks are not fancy but pretty new. Have larger rubber in back too, planning on a larger size up front in spring. And maybe 340 T bars to boot.

    Slight wallowing during corning......

    My car is driven very little, and only locally during the summer months. I mentioned some slight wallowing during corning at 60mph- and got lots of ideas, mostly heavier torsion bars and a front sway bar. My question now is could I get away with only one of these- thinking the torsion bars may...

    Slight wallowing during corning......

    No racing! Yes, I knew the rear was a little tall, and plan to even it up some in spring with the 215 tire. Shocks are nothing special, Monroes etc. I will be gettin the Tbars and sway over the winter. How can I tell IF i'll have to weld tabs on the K frame for a sway bar? I believe this is a V8...

    Slight wallowing during corning......

    This '72 Duster was an orig slant 6, in addition to the V8, now has new SS rear springs and new shocks and all suspension stuff including bushings. Another possibility of the swaying could be that the rear tires are on the large size- 245/60/15 vs 195/70/14 up front- I plan to up the fronts to...

    Slight wallowing during corning......

    '72 Duster, w/360/AT, no sway bars and THINK the front T bars are slant 6 type. A friend suggests I replace those w/340 Torsion bars and also add a front sway bar. Do I need both? THis car WONT see many miles and certainly not many highway miles.

    Need leaf spring mounting boxes

    My 72 Duster came with inboard/relocated springs but I am taking it back to stock. The spring perches are still on the axle and the rear shackles look like they will unbolt OK, but the guy welded in new boxes at the front of the springs (middle of the car) that I wont attempt to remove. I can...

    Move leaf springs back to stock location?

    My recently acquired '72 Duster arrived with the springs moved in about 5+ inches. THe fuel tank has only .75" clearance....but just on the passenger side- I think the previous owner was running a fuel cell, but I prefer a stock tank. Should I move the springs back out or will the .75" be enough...
