    New shocks

    I knew my front shocks weren't the best anymore. When I removed and compressed, the driver side didn't bounce back at all. Not that old, maybe 3 years. Replaced with QA 1 non adjustable shocks. Only had it out once so far, as you can imagine much better. Looking forward to a longer trip to...

    P.S. fitting leaking at pump

    My hose going into pump has been sweating fluid out around the fitting, not real bad, just annoying. My question, is it the fitting and I need a new hose or can I put teflon tape around threads and stop it? One of those winter projects to clean up leaks. :icon_fU:

    Input shaft (worm gear) play

    I just had my 65 Dart at shop getting my rebuilt p.s. box adjusted and front end alignment done. Way to much play in new box :( technician showed me that the input shaft was flexing in and out as we turned steering wheel back and forth. I'm double checking here first if there should be any...

    Steering wheel not right

    Just put new pitman arm in Dart, went for spin and car steers much better. Old arm was pretty warn out and loose. Anyway I noticed my steering wheel isn't lined up correctly now when I'm going straight, it's off a quarter of a turn. Do I need to remove pitman arm and rotate over one click...

    Torsion bar switch

    Switched out my /6 torsion bars to P-S-T 1.03 (has had 318 for quite awhile). When done, set adjusters to original settings set car down and front end was 3" higher (looked kind of cool actually). Was concerned but had enough adjustment to bring front down to where it was. Do I still need an...

    Shock mounting plates

    Just picked up a 8.25 axle to switch out my 7.25. Going to need shock mounting plates & U-bolts. Are the 8.25 the same as the 8.75 plates? I see them for sale advertising fitting both sizes, just want to make sure before plunging in.

    Putting in torsion bars

    Hi there, been going through front end on 65 Dart. I'm went to slide torsion bars in tonight and they don't line up with frame and control arm no matter which way I twist them. I've done this a couple of times but it's been over ten years since last time. Wondering if I did something out of...

    Change to V-8 torsion bars?

    Winter project going through front end on newly purchased 65 Dart. It was a six is now a V-8, just pulled torsion bars out to start process. Should I switch over to V-8 torsion bars from p-s-t or someone when putting back together? I'm assuming that would be better with heavier motor up front...
