These are old pics from when I rebuilt the suspension. These days I'm parked in a parking lot with no way to raise the car and work on it, so I won't be able to get new pictures for quite a while, sorry. That's the best I can do for now.

Here's a closer look at the spindle (with the caliper off to the side). This is the passenger side.

Meant to say 7-1/4" rear, not 3/4".

Here's the best I have at the moment. The front parts (disassembled): And the car up with the wheels off:

I'd like to replace pads and rotors (and maybe drums) on my '73 Duster but don't really have a place to work on it, so I need a way to ID the brakes before ordering parts and making time at a shop. They're stock parts, as far as I can tell. How many different stock set-ups are out there? The...

I was afraid someone might say that! Sounds like it's rebulid/replace caliper time. Is the rebuild pretty straightforward? These calipers seem pretty simple to me. Or, in the easy fix department, is there anything I can use to repair the torn boot?

I have 73-up sliding calipers. The dust boot is torn on one caliper but other than that they both seem to work properly and don't leak. Is there any way I can just replace the dust boot without rebuilding/replacing the caliper? The book I have doesn't have a procedure other than removing the...

Excellent, so I've got 73+ brakes and the big ball joint UCA's as well, I'm sure. Now the only thing I need to figure out is the sway bar. I have a 72 or earlier K-member with 73+ for basically everything else. How can I figure out which year sway bar I have and which end links I need? Or are...

Ok, that solves question 1. I'm assuming this was accomplished by using the driver's side hub/disc on the passenger's side and vice versa. Question 2: I have a sway bar and I know the links won't fit with the calipers in the front. Are there smaller links for 73+ that work with the calipers in...

My disc brake calipers are located at the upper rear of the rotors. I read somewhere that 73+ disc brakes had the calipers located on the front side. Does this mean I have 72 or earlier disc brakes? Still trying to figure out what's what on this car. Oh, and the hubs are BBP, if that makes a...

Will I be okay driving without it? I didn't even realize there was a brake light on my dash, aside from the parking brake light

So, as I replaced the wire from my battery post to the starter, I noticed a dangling black wire in my 73 Duster, with a sort of right angle bend cap on the end. As I looked down where it was dangling, i saw a metal block with brake lines running in and out of it (distribution block?) and it...
