I replaced my power steering box with a steer and gear box, now the steering wheel is off by about 45 degrees. How do I rectify this. No other parts were replaced. Thanks Aaron

Last summer I put new O-rings in the power steering control valve to fix my power steering leak. Good news is it fixed the leak. Got the valve almost adjusted right, jerks just slightly to the left on startup, but it turns hard one way and easy the other way. Any ideas? Have thought of...

Rebuilt the power steering control valve, new power steering pressure hose, and now my steering is stiffer than it was before. Before it was the typical light, oversteering chrysler steering. This is on a 67 Dart GT with 273 2 barrel automatic. I would prefer the light steering. What do I...

Found I have a pin hole in my power steering pressure hose, Where can I find a new one. O'Reillys and Rock Auto show one, but the picture looks different, if it will work that is no problem, but at $188 and $136 I want to be sure. Are there any alternatives? Thanks Aaron

Looking under my Dart the other day I noticed that the rebound bumpers on the lower control arms are only about a 1/4 from the frame. Would this cause a harsh ride on rough roads? I would like to raise it up some, will I need it realigned afterwards? Thanks Aaron

Got wondering if the aftermarket strut rods(steel ones from Mancinis)could be my issue with my front end, so I have a stock pair coming. Can strut rods be changed with out removing control arms? Or should I have another shop check/adjust alignment and let them change strut rods, if they think...

Got my car aligned a couple weeks ago, put about 200 miles on it, the front tires feel like they are wearing funny. I can run my hand across the tread one way and it feels ok, the other way I can sort of feel ridges. This is n both front tires. I rotated the tires before alignment. Also when...

Here is my stupid question of the day. Do I need my front shocks installed to set the ride height? I am missing the upper bushings for my front shocks, so I cant install them yet. Are the shock bushings available or do I have to get new shocks? Thanks Aaron

Began putting the front suspension back together, took the brake backing plates off of the spindles. Found torque specs in service manual and Haynes manual. 100foot lbs for the ball joint to spindle bolts and 55 foot lbs for the spindle backing plate bolts. Does that sound right? What...

Went to a u-pull-it, yesterday, sitting in a 42 plymouth(had a volare k-member installed) was a k-member (not the biscuit motor mount type), lower control arms and disc brake setup, the only thing I didn't see where the upper control arms, it appeared to be the big bolt pattern. Thought about...

Replaced bushings on my upper control arms and on one bushing on each control arms was a spacer thing, it was either on both front or both rear bushings(not sure which it is, cause I'm not sure which control arm is which side). Just wondered what the spacer thingee is, and is it important, and...

Got my front end kit, how do istall the lower control arm bushing and pivot shaft? Do I install the bushing on the shaft then install the assembly into the lower control arm, or bushing into lca then pivot shaft into bushing? Thanks Aaron

Noticed tonight that one strut rod has a little bit of a bend in it, it is at the end that bolts to the control arm. I assume it is not supposed to be bent as the other one doesn't have the bend. Do I need to replace this or is it ok? Thanks Aaron

I am shopping for front end parts for my 67 Dart GT convertible, 273 auto, power steering, drum brakes. Here is my list: Ball Joint upper (x2) Moog k704 Ball joint lower right (x1) Moog k785 Ball jint lower left (x1) Moog k787 Strut Rod bushing (x2) Moog k7040 Pitman arm (x1) Moog k7074 Bumper...

Pulled the tank off my power steering pump to paint it. Got thinking, as long as its apart I should rebuild it. Is this dificult? Could replace it, but rebuilding myself would be cheaper and the satisfaction in doing it goes a long way. What do I look for in regards to a rebuild kit? Thanks...

Have my k-member pulled and stripped of parts, and just wondering how I tell the left from the right as far as lower control arms(for the time when I get them mixed up)and are the strut bars interchangable side to side or should I keep them on the side they came out of? Thanks

Got the k-member out tonight and one upper control arm bolt was siezed in the sleeve in the bushing, ending up screwing up the threads getting it out. Are there replacements available? Also how do I remove the plastic splash shield that sits below the frame? Thanks

Still debating wether I want to remove the k-member for blast and paint, if I do, I figure I just as well rebuild the front suspension. Is this something I can do myself? I have rebuilt the entire front end on a 73 Chevelle and a 86 Dodge Shelby Charger, and repalced ball joints on a 98 Dodge...

One of my options for a body shop wants the k-member removed. My question is how do you still make the car moveable, have had a few ideas, but want to see how others have done it. Thanks
