So I finally got fed up with my steering and decided that I'd go break something...drove the snot out of the Duster and the steering wander got worse. Figured it would be bad enough to see something loose or something. I was right, the steering box was loose. So I removed all of the bolts...

So from my other post regarding steering strangeness, I've found that my center link isn't level and is causing some ahem "steering issues". The idler is too far up ( away from the ground ) Did I get the wrong idler? I'm pretty sure it was the correct part but after cruising the forums...

Oh boy, where to start... My daily driver is having some steering issues and I'd like a second opinion, something other than my own :) Car: 73 Duster /6 833OD, manual front disc brakes, all new everything under the front end as of 2-3 years ago ( including, pitman arm, idler arm, tie rod...

I had a complete loss of fluid on the way home last night and found the high pressure leak at the pump end of the high pressure line. I tried replacing the o-rings but that made it even worse. Are the o-rings on the power steering hose ( high pressure side ) tapered, or are they standard...

When mounting a sway bar is there anything that says it has to point forward/backward or be mounted on top or bottom of the axle?? The reason I'm asking is that I found a rear bar from a 98 firebird that was about as bolt in as anything I've seen, the only issue is that it is mounted on top...

I'm looking for "exactly" how the benefit translates into "feeling" of the car. I know that they sure up the whole body of the car, but what does that equate to in handling. Something like the explanation of bump steer, you can read about what bump steer is but it's entirely different to feel...

my power steering pump is leaking BAD out of the front seal..leaks a big puddle if I park nose down the driveway. I'm looking at rock auto for rebuild kits and I'm not sure what one to buy for my 73 /6. What's the correct one? The pump on the car is the round bodied (federal/TRW) pump with a...

I was under the "daily Duster" adjusting the torsion bars to get better clearance for speed bumps when I noticed that some of the boots on the driver side tie rod ends are shot and the boot on the lower ball joint is split :angry: The parts are just over a year old and I thinking that they...

I've got a 73 duster with power steering and it's leaking out of a fitting that is bolted to the front at the steering box. Is there an o-ring in there or something that I can do to keep the fluid from coating my engine bay? or sounding like a mid 80's fox body rustang... and don't say swap to...

Last night I decided to start taking care of the vibration noises inside the car. One was coming from the steering column ( it was rubbing on the plastic cover plate that screws to the dash). So I loosened the 4 bolts that hold the steering column sections together and pulled it out about...

Today I found a 74 dart with a factory sway bar. Junkyard gold! Now the questions are. 1. Should I get the LCA's with the tabs on them or should I just mod the ones I have? 2. I haven't looked yet but should my 73 duster have the holes in the K-frame to mount the front of the bar? 3. Will I...

I need opinions on what the best handling improvement gain for the cost would be. upgrading torsion bars or installing front sway bar? The car is a 73 duster with a /6 daily driver Tires are 205/60/15 on 15x7 wheels My thoughts are that the sway bar would help body roll but wouldn't the...

well called JC this morning and they said that the springs they have listed on thier site for 6?-76 duster are the wrong ones (PN967570) (manufacturer PN PLY707), the ones they sent me are 24 inches from front eye hole to axle alignment pin with an oval front eye. nice guy James from technical...

I went to finish up my suspension rebuild for the passenger side...but when I tried to thread in the outer tie rod end and whammo.. the thing has reverse threads...the original part has reverse threads, and the new part has standard. did the guy at the auto parts store give me the wrong part...
