Steer n Gear in Ohio has them as well.

While yo uare at it mic the diameter of both bars, left and right should be the same, and larger than 0.860 inch slant six bar. I’m with others; replace old torsion bars with new parts. I would consider replacing rear springs as well with new units to restore balance between front...

I have had to disassemble my front end several times, using the bolt & coupler nut tool saves having to replace rubber dust boots with after market junk that does not last any time. Pickle fork is great to use if old parts are not being re used.

Here is a tool I made per FSM to pop upper and lower ball joints free from steering knuckle. Remove castle nut of joint needing replacement, flip it over and re install flush with end of treaded ball joint stud. Place tool in line with and between booth upper and lower nuts and expand tool...

Proper fill level is to just above tank where snout of fill attaches. Over fill it and pump will puke oil out around cap, and seek its correct level. Factory service manual lists correct PS pump fill procedure.

This chart will give you a rough idea the different spring rates of various diameter torsion bars. http://www.firmfeel.com/torsionb_a.htm

As the years have rolled on from the mid-sixties or earlier to present time suspensions have gotten stiffer, more competent, and able to provide vastly better handling. By changing to stiffer a torsion bar, adding a front anti sway bar, and replacing worn bushings & front end parts, sagging...

My power steering gear was a worn-out flopping leaking mess. Grab the pitman arm, give it a good shake and the out-put shaft would rattle around in its bushing. I sent it to Steer n Gear in Ohio for a firm feel 2 rebuild. They paid shipping one way, did a great job refurbishing the gear and...

I have used the caps from the old bushings that were removed. They're just press fit, and a little tapping, and screwdriver action will pop them right out.

You are experiencing tecs not willing to follow or read directions. First one must set correct suspension ride height following factory method. If this step is passed over, or done as an afterthought after setting camber, castor the alignment will never be right. You can’t align these casr if...

Forget big box lifetime alignments on these Chrysler torsion bar suspensions, they will never do it right, hell they can’t align a modern car correctly. All they do is get green numbers to pop up and call it good. One side can be to the far side of specks and the other side at the opposite...

Install 0.940” or thicker torsion bars, 1 1/8th front anti sway bar, new bushings, shocks, and replace any worn front end parts as needed including rebuilding steering gear to firm feel level 2 and importantly new rear springs. Sub-frame connectors would be a good idea as well. Handling...

These brackets are available to properly remount an Addco bar: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ENS-5-5135G/

wjajr, Ok..I will use this bolt and see what happens. Here is a pic below. I seem to be missing these two bolts circled. OK, good. These are what I called ball joint attachment bolts. We are on the same page.

The idler arm bolt uses a stop nut, no cotter pin on all but one year only 67’s which had a mono connection like a tie rod end. I’m not sure what you are saying. Are you describing attaching the lower ball joint to hub? The disk brake lower ball joint uses a larger diameter...

I ran across this same bump stop alignment issue after installing CAP crap UCA in a 67 Dart. All I did was replace the top bump stop with a LCA bump stop which is much longer and able to catch the arm.

With the right vernacular anything is possible.

Back off nut holding LCA, back off strut rod, remove upper bump stop or disconnect lower ball joint, back off torsion bar adjuster bolt. Once lower control arm can flop around freely, with torsion bar ends and sockets greased they should slide right in. Don't forget to install torsion bar...

Please don’t chastise the board for not fulfilling one’s urgent technical request in less than 2.5 hours between 9 and 11:30 EDST when most are kicked back or in bed; patience Grasshopper. This would be a good time to purchase a Factory Service Manual, it covers all these little...

Shim thickness can be calculated from thrust angle measured during front end alignment. Measuring from arbitrary point such as torsion bar mount won’t work because the rear axil has to be aligned in relation to front wheels, not frame points. These cars were slapped together with sloppy...

One of these may work: http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/framconpac.html

Forget the Addco bar, it has inferior mounting hardware that tends to loosen and rip out of K member over time, like 3000 miles, and weird end link angles.

That is the chart I had in mind.

0.995" ~ call it a one inch bar. They should work nicely in an A Body. As for the Mopar number; these bars may be a post A Body production performance part out of an old Direct Connection Catalog.

I think by 1976 radial tires were installed on A body cars, perhaps a 76 alignment spec will work. Other than that there is an alignment chart kicking around listing several different stages of settings depending if DD to all out race car. I'll be damned if I can locate it. I do recall it being...

Drum lower ball joint is different from disk ball joint. I can’t tell you just what the difference is though. It has been over forty years since I laid hands on a front drum brake Dart's ball joint. LOL Damn memory is slipping. http://www.rockauto.com/ Look up: Dodge; Dart; 3.7...

Local may not have his parts. That being said, Rock Auto may have better selection & price if they ship overseas.

All that plus sub-frame connectors, and torque boxes. New rear springs will add greatly to handling of car, and getting it into good front end alignment specks. I did all of the above to my supper tuned /6 rag top Dart a few years ago, incorporating Firm Feel 0.940” torsion bars, six...

Measure length and diameter of bar, and find a close match in one of the above charts to those dimensions. That should show you roughly what they are. The other consideration is what condition are they in. Are these fairly new bars, or high mileage bars that are worn and fatigued?

That thing where hoses attach to steering gear is called Valve Body; it is fastened by two bolts to the steering gear, and where fluid passes into gear there are two small “O” rings under it. Centering of this housing or valve body corrects for self-steering. To adjust centering...
