    Adjustable shocks?

    they have what for 16.99 a piece? and maybe when i used the word "adjustable", i was wrong. should have said air shocks I think. so why do some people say air shocks are bad? why is it bad to use the shocks to hold up the car? Checked out the rims, they are 4 inch backspace. 15x8's. tires...

    Steering column from an 80's van

    i'll update this forum once I finish everything. right now though, I have a shift column with no tilt. But a tilt colmn with no shift should fit the same if its from the same year of a van..right?

    Steering column from an 80's van

    would the steering box be the same from the van or the stock one from the dart? I looked it up and identifies mine as a small sector steering box.. I guess if the steering box is the same for either column, then it wouldn't affect the centerlink pitman and idler..

    Adjustable shocks?

    \ i'll check them out and measure them. I know that these B bodies have alot of room though! in the completely stock '74 charger we fit 295's wrapped around centerlines under there with absolutely no modification. they fit like a glove. the tires on the satellite are 235's though IIRC...

    Adjustable shocks?

    alright.. The car was like this when I got it. As money allows i'll get springs. The springs on there look brand new though. how do I identify them to tell if they are new or the stock springs?

    Adjustable shocks?

    thanks.. so i'm sure that my car is riding fine then for how it is set up..

    Adjustable shocks?

    yah. they are air shocks I guess. they have a valve that you can pump air into with a compressor. and they just feel SUPER stiff. maybe I'll just deal with them. but not sure if its normal or not to feel that stiff back there. and they aren't pumped up all the way either. they say ther can go...

    Adjustable shocks?

    I need to get a new set of rear shocks for my '73 satellite. currently it has adjustable ones on there. And They are needed so that my rear tires clear the rear fenders.. What are some good adjustable shocks that I could replace these with? I believe they are KYB's on there right now too...

    What leafs do you guys use?

    thats the word I was looking for power transfer. ya you know what you're talking about. i'm just a young guy who knows how to research n the internet and in books. lol. and from what i've read yah they came on cars with 340's. hopefully you get any problems that you might have with your springs...

    What leafs do you guys use?

    yah. i don't know alot, but I don't think the wheel should be sitting further forward on the driverside. The Passenger side is supposed to sit higher though. thats how they were new from the factory also. It helps alot with traction. they're called bias springs. There is alot of engineering...
