    How big a torsion bar nick is ok?

    Found a set of torsion bars in my garage. Before I sell them, how big a nick is acceptable? Can catch a fingernail on it

    Do I need new leaf springs?

    70 Duster has coilover shocks in back. I upgraded to Bilstins. To me in now looks like the springs are too flat. Take a look, were the coil overs a bandaid covering worn out springs?

    Dust covers on Bilsteins

    Ordered new Bilstins shocks, 70 Duster. The fronts come without dust covers. Is this normal? My only option is those corrugated type ones which I don’t like. The 4wd guys go without, claim they trap dirt/mud. I won’t be driving in mud though. Are the dust covers necessary?

    LCA wore out?

    I just finished welding on reinforcement plates on my LCA (70 Duster), pressing in new bushings and grease-able piviot pins. I stepped back to admire my work and noticed that one seems a little wider than the other. In addition, the wider one has about 3/16 movement in it, while the other has...

    wheel studs

    Need to replace some front wheel studs, still have left hand thread on the left side. Is there any benefit to going from 7/16 to 1/2 inch on the front other than the lug nuts all the way around will then be the same?

    Strut nuts

    Two questions. What size are the castle nuts on the forward end of the strut rod on a 70 Duster? A 9/16 was to big, and a 1/2 was to small. I got a nut on it now, but it is not a castle nut so can't run a cotter pin to secure it. Also, does anyone have one they want to get rid of? The guy...

    Duster front end alignment?

    I put in a PST polygraphite kit in the front suspension in my 70 Duster. Never did one before, so did one side at a time so could compare if I wasn't sure on things. I matched lengths on each of the new tie rod ends and sleeves with the ones that came off. Lowered it off the jackstands, and...

    ignition cylinder issue or not?

    I am replacing the ignition cylinder on my 70 Duster. I slid the new one in, looked right so I turned it. Felt good, until I went to take the key out. It stops one click short of being able to remove the key. In a newer car I would say I have to put my foot on the brake, or push a lever or...

    strut rod bushings?

    OK, been getting some great advice as I rebuild the front end of my 70 Duster, so am throwing out another question. Hopefully this will be the last one. I got the performance kit from PST. The bushing set they included for the front of the strut rod is different that what I took off the car...

    Torsion bar shaft removal

    Rebuilding the front suspension on my 70 Duster, never have done much front end work. I got the LCA arm out and am looking at pressing out the torsion bar shaft but it has a collar on the shaft on the thread side. Does that come off somehow? I viewed a article from MoparMuscle that I found on...
