Yeah, when I took the "Harris" ones back out I did not notice any adhesive on the rubber. She said those ones were original manufacture so maybe they are NOS and the rubber is just ancient... I don't know. The ID on the new ones they sent are clearly off. Even my cheap/crappy calipers show...

The saga continues. They sent me replacement bushings (McQuay-Norris) and I’m seeing the issue that some of you have described where the sleeve ID is too big. The pin just slips in and out, Not a press fit. Ho-hum. I ordered the pro-forged as it seems some people on here have had good luck with...

My thoughts exactly. More pics after removal. I don’t think they provide any other useful information other than showing the sleeves do indeed appear to be coming out. To your knowledge is there any adhesive that aids in keeping the sleeve in there? Or is it just a squeezing force?

Well, they waited too long and I had too much time to think about it... I ended up cancelling my order. I'm going to go with the Borgeson.

I'm using rubber ones. ESPO said they use two manufacturers. Harris, which is supposed to actually be the original manufacturer. And McQuay-Norris. I have no idea where they are manufactured but as we found out during Covid, the U.S. has virutually no domestic manufacturing anymore for most...

I'm guessing its something I did wrong... if I torqued the pins after everything was on the ground and close to ride height, it seems to me the only thing that could be pushing the opposite direction is the strut bar. They are just stock bars with one piece bushings. Maybe I torqued the pins...

Honestly, I don' think that would cause it. The issue is the sleeve separating from the rubber....

Bushings are from ESPO. I did the installation. Torsion bars are PST, fully in with locking tabs. The strut rods are torqued on both ends with roll pin in…. It will take me a couple of days but I guess I’ll tear it back apart. They were installed by a moron but I can't think of anything the...

Brand new rubber bushing installed. I haven’t driven the car yet. I removed the steering box and noticed that it seems the sleeve is already pulling out of the bushing. Has anyone seen this before? I waited to torque the LCA’s until I had it on the ground. Can’t think of anything else I could...

Is there anyway (just by looking at the backing plate) to tell what year the brake plate came from? I don't see any numbers on it... The wheel cylinders seem like they are from 73 and newer but the drums and shoes are 2.25" which would indicate earlier.... Not sure any of it really matters...

Thanks for the pics. My wheel cylinders don't look like either of those. I think my brakes must be out of a later year car. Thank you.

Just a point of curiosity... my 69 dart GT has 10" front brakes. The hoses are for 9" brake set up though. I have the short hard lines on the back of my brake plates and the female/female brake hoses like a 9" set up. I just noticed when ordering hoses I have to order 9" hoses even though I...

In case I can find an adapter, I measured the spindle to be 3/4" -16. Does that sound right?

This may be the best option. Its bigger than I wanted to store, but I really don't want to have to store two wheels and tires either. I found the diameter of the magnetic adapters, it is bigger than my wheel centers so it won't fit. Thank you!

Hmmm. I reall don't want to store extra wheels and tires.... Do you reccomend that gauge or were you just citing it as an example?
