Had my Dusters steering box replaced the other day. Feels much better than before, no play or slop. Only issue is when turning the steering wheel wont return back to its original position at all. When turning left it moves very slow back, but when turning right it dosnt move. I went to an empty...

I have a question regarding the steering on my '74 Duster. Its very loose/numb. It dosnt really have much play in it though. In 2007 the idler, pitman, ball joints were replaced as well as an alignment. Also tightened the top bolt on the steering box to remove some play. That helped a bit. The...

I am thinking about upgrading my stock tie rod ends/sleeves with the larger ones from C-bodys. However, I have never done this on any car before so I am not sure what to expect. Is it a fairly easy job? Do I need any special tools? Any tips to perform this particular suspension modification...

After reading through some of these threads on improving handling and cornering in our a-bodys, I got to thinking about an addition to increase those factors but not sure if it would work. It may sound like a dumb idea but there is only one way I can know though :-D Here is a picture of my...

Are kyb shocks stiffer than monroe? I have monroes all the way around but the rear seems to soft. When I hit some bumps I think the exhaust slightly rubs the shocks. Will kyb shocks improve the ride. Its a '74 duster by the way. Thanks

Is there some cheap tips for improving the suspension. Such as taking off from a stop. Would better shocks help than my current monroes. I was looking at pinion snubbers, but can't find any for an 8 1/4 rear-end. My leaf springs are new as are the factory style shackles. I like "just...

This evening I adjusted the torsion bars on my duster and wondering how far I can adjust them. I lowered the car over an inch from before and looks so much better. My question is, just how low can it go?

While doing body work on my duster I noticed some frame damage on the rear right side. Where the shackel goes up it appears to be bolted onto a box of some sort that is welded onto the frame rail. I attached a picture but it's kinda hard to see that the box is almost gone due to rust. I am...

Hi - I have a 74 Duster and am think about getting a new power steering box for it. The drivers exhaust manifold would obviously have to come off, but other than that is it an easy job. It's a 318 car. Has anyone here done it before? Thanks

Will a sway bar kit for an A-Body up to 1972 fit an A-Body from 1974 (Duster) I would imagine the suspension would be almost the same during all those years. It's a front and rear bar with all hardware from Addco. Thanks

Anyone here put a sway bar on there A-Body. I am thinking about getting a front and rear sway bar for my 74 Duster. I have heard they greatly reduce body roll and improve overall ride quality. Any opinions. Thanks

I have heard there is a way to adjust the steering box. I have a 74 duster 318 with factory power steering. I think there is a certain bolt that can be turned for adjustment so there is less play in the steering. I figured this would be the place to ask. Thanks

I recently had new leaf springs installed on my Duster, and the guy who put them on said after a short time, the rear will go down about 1 inch for a nice stance. About a week or two after that I noticed the drivers side of the car was sitting about 1 inch lower than the other side. I was very...

Does anyone know what the dimensions are for the u-bolts that go on the leaf springs for a 1974 Duster. I am positive I got 4-leaf, and the place I called has 5-leaf springs in stock, and make the u-bolts. I need to measure the specs on mine then add maybe an inch since I am getting 5-leaf. They...
