I've found some measurements for manual vs. power steering shafts. Manual steering shaft is ~40-5/8" Power steering shaft is ~37.5" I have a manual shaft and Im wondering if I can collapse it to use as a power shaft and it still be safe and function properly??? Thoughts??

After a couple years of driving the my 71 Scamp with manual steering I'm considering putting the power steering back in. However when I pulled it I had a cooler, that I thought I would never use so I sold it. I dont see anything in my service manual about it and doing a google search came up...

Im replacing the bushing in my rear suspension. I have the FSM, but Im questioning the torque specs for the rear shackles and mount. The rear spring mount says 30 ft. lbs., I was expecting more, but that is reasonable. The one I question is the shackles nuts, the FSM say 45 ft. lbs. for non...

Hey guys and gals, I rebuilt my suspension over the winter. I used the Moog offset bushings. I installed them using the diagram below. Front arrows pointing to the ball joint, Rear pointing to the engine. I was shooting for the typical performance specs in this chart. I was watching them...

I just replaced my UCA bushings with standard Moog bushings. I have not driven it or gotten it aligned yet. This was on the to do list very soon. Of course I got a good deal on the offset Moog bushings so I have them sitting here, staring at me every day. Im not sure what to do at this...

I just installed a 72 down stock sway bar into my car. I came across a good deal on a Addco bar so I picked it up, just in case.. I know the stock bar is much smaller than that Addco bar, but is it worth going thru the hassle to swap it over?

My 71 Scamp came with the LBJ's on it. I wanted to add a sway bar so I found some LCA's with the 72 down brackets on the outter edge of the arm. Since that is the K-member I have. I swapped my spindles so that the disc's are now in the back, so those would not hit the sway bar. Well I have a...

Had to adjust my box because I had so much slop in it before the car would respond. I tore it down and put new seals and grease in it. Everything looked to be in great condition. I Followed the factory manual on how to adjust it, but I still am unsure of a couple things. The bearing preload...

Hi guys, the idler arm in my car has a odd issue and its only got maybe 1500 miles on it. Im working on the suspension on my 71 scamp. Replacing all the components under the car. I wasnt going to replace the pitman arm or idler arm since I replaced those when I was rebuilding the car...

Working on my 71 Scamp and I thought I had a 2 piece strut rod bushing. Well turns out mine were 1 piece. Damn, I bought the 2 piece style. So, I just wanted to double check and went on rock auto. They show the original being a 1 piece but offer the Moog brand 2 piece and behind it, it says...

Im getting ready to rebuild a set of LCA and I already have the pivot shafts out. When I picked these up they didnt have the washers or nuts with them. Im curious however, when do you decide to purchase new pivot shafts, or reuse the originals? If I reuse the originals does anyone know what...

(Not Mine) Found this Ebay ad and wanted to post up here for all of you. I know I have seen talk about these in the past and that people could not find them any longer. I contacted the seller about doing a group buy on them, but he is just getting into them and has to much tied up into the...

Have a couple questions. I need to rebuild the front suspension/steering on my Scamp and will be doing it all. The one thing I decided at last minute to do is the torsion bars, I think.. I still have the stock bars in the car.. Does anyone know what a 71 Scamp came with, size wise? Right now...

I've tried Moog's website but I dont see a difference in these bolt kits. They are both listed for a 71 Dart K7030 and K8243A Does anyone know what the difference is?

Guys, Im trying to figure out my front suspension. I have a 71 Scamp, that at some point was switched over to the LBP and discs. I have a little bit of everything on my front suspension and steering. By this I mean.. I have 71 steering components, inner/outer tie rods and center link as well...

Hi guys, Im curious about the offset spring shackles and hangers. What all is involved in setting this up? Those of you that have done this I would love to see pics. Thanks

Hi guys, I have a set of 72 lower control arms here at home. One side has a factory tab the other did not. I decided to bring them into work and have someone fab up the tap. They got it done and its not perfect but close to factory looking. They had everything dimensionally wise very close...

I have 73 and up Disc's on my 71 Scamp. I want to add a sway bar to my car and I have a 70 LCA now. Will the lower control arms swap over ok or do I have to find 73 up LCA's?

I have a 04 Durango with a 5.7. I need to replace the steering rack and wondering if anyone here has any experience replacing one. This is the only time Ive actually thought about taking the truck to a dealership or repair shop to have it done.

Im still running the stock torsion bars in my 71 Scamp originally a 318. Ive been seeing that people are changing out torsion bars and Im not really sure why people change to larger bars. Can someone explain to me why you switch and how to pick the proper bar.

So question regarding steering shafts. I know they are injected with a plastic of some sort and in a accident that plastic breaks and the shaft collapses. If they collapse are they still usable? The reason i ask is I bought a manual steering shaft from a member here. I installed it into the...

Will a 67 A body manual floor shift column fit into a 66 coronet?

I bought new collars for my 71 steering column to convert it to floor shift. Getting ready to take it apart I noticed that the expanded collapsible area is damaged. Not sure if it happened in storage or while it was in the car. It also has a slight bend to it. Is it still safe to use and install...

Besides Firm Feel and Mancini who else makes a power to manual adapter? Or what what have you used otherwise

Does anyone have a exploded view of a 68 Barracuda steering column?

Ok fellas, I picked up a new Idler Arm from Rockauto moog part #K7042. I took it out of the box to install it and its not even close! The arm in the bottom of the pic was the one on my car. That arm fit nicely and the tie rod was level with the pitman arm. The one on top was the one I ordered. I...

I have a manual steering box from a 68 cuda. It needs a new pitman arm and I was looking at rock auto. Problem is they only list power steering part but under pitman arm they dont specify manual or power. Is there a difference?
