    How should my duster handle

    I actually do agree...people who turn the steering wheel without the car rolling are poor drivers. These are the same people who have cars that break and/or require repairs....my cars never, ever break. I've also never worn out a set of brake pads in under 100K miles. As for the idea that...

    How should my duster handle

    I certainly don't care what someone does to their car...but I do think too many people seek to modify their car to the point where it no longer even represents what a classic Mopar is. The big, thin steering wheels of the 60's, and the properly assisted steering, is part of the character of the...

    How should my duster handle

    I get all that, but we're not talking about cars that are fighting for pole position at Indy. The average 55 year old Mopar does very little but cruise around town and the occasional highway trip. Few people need their A Body to drive (and have the miserable ride) like a 2023 Corvette. This...

    Front suspension experimentation

    Yes, the Wilwood kit is made for the 9" spindles. In 40+ years of driving these cars I have never seen one break. We used to off-road the old 65 Barracuda back before using trucks became popular....hit bunches of potholes, etc. Never had an issue. But now that you've said it....it'll probably...

    Front suspension experimentation

    I found a good deal on a Wilwood disc kit for the 68 Valiant....so the trusty 9" drums had to go. While I had the car apart for that, I decided to also rebuild the front end as it was the all-original 55 year old pieces....still working well. With all the talk about caster, I decided to make...
