Morning gang
Hey Chris!
Works great on glass…
Morning!
Its just below freezing, balmy some might say. Will go above today. Finally.
Should have rocker welded in today. Then 1/4 and wheel tub i guess.

Looks like we too will get above freezing today, it has been a long time. Gonna be a sloppy mess for awhile. Still have a couple of feet of snow on ground.
Good Morning All!
Replacement strut rods and LCA shipped yesterday so getting closer to reassembly
Try this experiment...buy the same exact gaskets at NAPA and then go to advance Auto. Check the difference. You don't even need a Micrometer. NAPA is heavier and thicker. Unless there was a mistake in packaging at Advanced they are cheaper. And the thickness should effect performance to a certain level
Any thoughts on the LCA shaft rotation being non-concentric? Both sides have a similar rotation that I thought might be a bend but maybe not?
I have to say Demonic (Morgan) Really hooked me up with that scope package. He drove 45 minutes to pick it up. I have met him he came to the house once with his Charger I think for a distributor. It was so long ago I actually forgot his real name. He picked it up and paid the 200 balance and had to convince him to take my paypal money. He wanted me to pay whenever I get it from him. Great guy!
What do you mean spinning the shaft in the bushing in the frame or the LCA? I always thought the shafts themselves were straight? Not sure but James from PST will know. @PST
I hate the video upload process on here...
Yeah, i have them out of the car. if I rotate the shaft it has a subtle asymmetrical rotation...or "wobble" to it. Not sure how else to describe. I think it was @Mattax that noticed the shaft and torsion bar were not in direct alignment.
This thread goes too fast... let me see if I can find his response.
I am pretty sure they are not "out of round" Say you mount them in a lathe and check the straightness, I would think very little run out.
Hell yeah this thread moves fast. Way to much back reading for me.
Thanks for the terminology help.
No lathe but I can put a square on them later this morning
I would think it would take a lot to bend them. You said the car might have been hit?
The K damage and bent strut rod indicates some sort of trauma.
I would some how measure the tapered part where the nut goes into the LCA to see how out of round they are somehow.
I remember that. What was up with the torsion bar?
I hear you Craig. Mine is not fun now that paypal issues 1099's! This year will hurt.
Rusted into the LCA... freaking struggle getting it out but that CRC Freeze did the trick. @krazykuda gave me the idea when he mentioned heating it again and dousing with ice water
