Thanks for your help guys!!! I think thats what I need!

I read about someone had used these special washers to center bolts on QA-1 K frame. I have this and the supplied washers are flat and bolts are not centered in mounts. Somebody remembers, I hope.

I had this same problem with the Bilstein's. I ordered them from P-S-T, and they worked with me and sent me the correct bushings. The top bushing was too small in diameter. Good luck!

Sorry, their gone.

QA1 also offers them. I have a set of them that I am going to sell fairly cheap. New, never been used. Installed, but not used.

Well guys it took some time, but Dan at PST sent me the correct bushings for the shocks. Once I removed the incorrect bushings, pressed the correct ones in, it went together very easy!

PM sent.

Here is what post looks like. Same size as post on spring plate.

P-S-T

The top one is 0.615" ,the bottom one is 0.69". A difference of 0.075". Both mounting posts measure 0.69".

Yeah, I'm NOT going to drill bushings! I'm sure I will get to bottom of this, just can't work on that part this weekend. Dano, I agree they may be the wrong bushings or they may be mislabeled. I have switched back to finishing front end.

No, they look brand new as a matter of fact after I used crocus cloth on them. The bushing hole is just too small. Every shock I have ever bought for a 67 up A body had the bushings the same size top and bottom.

Yes Dano, the posts look like new after I took crocus cloth to them. No mushrooming or anything like that. rear of car is up in air, 8 3/4 is hanging down to the extent springs will let it.I have room, to swing rubber hammer, but I couldn't budge it.

Yes, I doing ok. How abt yourself? I am making progress on the Barracuda. I'm shooting for having it on road by late summer or sooner.

Well guys I tried all the above advice except for the hot water part. Still no go. With almost a tenth of an inch difference in bushing hole, it just wont go on. At least for me. The lower bushing on the shock fits just fine on the upper stud. I know some of you said they look right, but you...

I recently bought a set of 4 Bilstein's for my 67 Barracuda. The front ones are installed, but when I went to put the rears on, they wouldn't fit. The bushing in the upper eye is too small in diameter by abt ".075 The bushing is not rubber, I tried with some vasalene to force it on but that...

Well I guess I was lucky then !

I bought a pair from Year One and they were perfect !

I bought P-S-T's 1.03" tbars and there premium seals. I couldn't get them on no matter what I tried. A friend and his Big wife came by to see car. I told them the problem I was having, she said let me try. The seal was put on shop floor large side up, tbar hex was put into place. She then took a...

:)I had a set of polyurethane seals that I couldn't get on no matter what I tried. A friends wife put her weight on them while they were verticle w/seal at bottom. with a little lube they popped right on! Problem solved!

It's Machine/auto shop time!

I purchased a 8 3/4 rear from a 65 Dodge coronet at my local Pull a part. It was under 100 dollars. I then had a machine shop install new bearings and seals, rh studs on drivers side, all for under 200 dollars. So I had about 300 in it, then it needed new spring mounts moved in 1/2 inch on...

P S T, a vendor on here sells them! I've used them and can recommend them to you. cudamike13

All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!! Great job Mad Dart!

I looked at the picture at Summit. Those are just regular common U/bolts that will collapse your tubes. Mopar U/bolts have the part that goes around the axle Flat!

This is indeed the correct way to do the job! Sockets aren't very expensive, 1/2 in impact is the right tool! I don't want heat anywhere near my suspension components.

I went there again and was able to get a look at their kits! Pretty good looking stuff. Thanks again, Mike

I just realized you said:"entire kit". I only saw the tool itself. What did I miss? Thanks

I just went to that website and ordered that tool! Thanks Racingduster !

If you had the tool specified in the first post, you would be able to hammer it out. I would imagen a pipe wrench and a hammer will really leave marks and scratches on torsion bar which then MUST be removed or bar may break! That tool may still be available somewhere, but on another thread...
