So I swapped an explorer 8.8 into my 64 barracuda. Install went well and all that but, I noticed that my aftermarket spring perches that I bought on eBay have a bigger hole on the perch, than the size of the leaf spring centering pin. So upon test driving the rear end the other day, when I...

I swapped out the old rear end out of my 64 barracuda for an 8.8 out of a 2001 explorer (28 spline, 3:73, Limited-slip). How do I go about making sure its aligned with the car so I can weld it to the new perches? Do I have to take it in to the alignment shop and have them do it? **other...

I just recently installed the PST 1.03 torsion bars into my barracuda. Im kinda going for that pro touring look, and while skimming through there catalog I noticed these where geared more towards that lowered stance or stock height. I installed these as I would any regular torsion bar install...

So, I'm buying new leaf springs for my 68 dodge dart, I was gonna buy the SS springs 2 passenger from summit, with shipping they come out to like a total of $235 for both.

Well I got the front suspension all set up and then it came to the torsion bars! I put the torsion bars in through the crossmember, then put on the dust boots (boiling in water is the trick), then I made sure to remove the bump stops and loosen the LCA nut, on the drivers side the bar went...

So I finally managed to take the ball joints off! Cheater bar, good friend and special socket! One went on smooth! Drivers side, that's another story! By the time I finished screwing it on, I realized one side was higher than the other! One side was flush on control arm while the other side was...

Im wondering if my leaf springs are still good? they do seem a little rusty but i think they might clean up well with a wire wheel, that longer spring bracket does look a bit to rusty, I dont know if I would trust those, plus I kinda dont dig how they hang down like that, it also seems to have...
