Glad to say the drums are now successfully re-homed. Nice to meet you Corey, and hope the swap goes smoothly!

Hi Corey - Well what a nice surprise - somebody who can actually use them and pretty close by to boot. Awesome! Yeah - that's not real far at all. I'll see if I can PM you my phone (haven't done that yet on the forum), and we can chat about timing. Actually the wife loves an excuse to go to...

Thought I'd put this up here for a bit in case there is actually someone who could use these before I chuck them in a scrap metal place. They are 9" drums with small spindles and they still rotate, which is about all I care to know about them at this point. Feel free to chime in if you think...

It was actually your earlier post which caused me to go that direction so, thanks!

Email sent to Moog (I was civil). Duralast parts ordered from Autozone - should be available for pickup tomorrow morning. Hoping weather cooperates.

I'm at work right now -will shoot them an email with pics when I get home, thanks for the link.

Got my replacement K783 today (9/7/17). Paid for 1-day shipping & somebody sat on the order for a day so it took 2. But I digress... Imagine the extremity of my joy when I beheld the new part having pretty much the same problem as the previous one. Not quite as offset and no crack (but how...

Precisely what happened to my last job repairing pro audio equipment. Not worth fixing when you can buy it so cheap (China made).

Well, I want to believe Moog is still a cut above and this was just an errant defect. Accordingly I have a replacement on the way with 1-day shipping (getting this stuff from RockAuto). Fingers crossed I can beat the forecast rain, ending of one of the longest dry stretches in my memory here...

Here at the later stages of a fairly involved suspension repair I reach for the new Moog lower ball joints - gonna paint them up real pretty before installation. Then I noticed how awfully the K783 (Left) one was assembled. The swage is completely off center, out-of-round, and cracked on one...

No movie stunts, just years of driving Seattle area roads. Yes on both counts about the cracks. Nasty.

Another update, and it's not good. This WAS going to be a post showing progress so far, but while cleaning before reinstalling the (now welded) K-Member I found this (I thinks she's trying to tell us something):

Thanks for posting that. Funny - I was just telling my wife how probably very few other FABO members have 4-door rigs, and on cue your post popped up! :thumbsup:

Thanks for your concern - I've had those things kicking around for decades and even used to use them for holding up a corner of a car (but always with the jack still in place as a back-up (yikes!). Yeah - I don't trust them for much. In this case I had the shorter HF stands placed and as I put...

Wow thanks everybody for the replies! Lots of ideas here. I'm leaning toward fabbing a cross-bay support out of a 4x4 to control the tendency to tip and jacking/blocking under the pan for most of the engine weight. Car is already up on 4 jackstands (and the rear wheels) for the suspension...

A spin off from my other thread Odd Suspension Issue "Fixed" Itself I'm investigating options for repair of the broken LCA pivot sleeve weld in the K-Member on our '73 Dart Custom 225/TF904, and was wondering if it's feasible to pull the K-member while leaving the engine in the car (using...

Just a little update with a few pics. Yes the LCA bushings are bad, especially the driver side where there wasn't much but a tiny scrap of rubber left. This also led to wear on the control arm itself from frame rubbing as well as grooves in the pivot pin. The k-member sleeve weld is broken...

Good one! Think I might have something similar going on. We took it up to the DIY car wash yesterday to prep for the suspension work and it was fine until taking a hard turn over a drop-down exiting the wash, after which it was all jacked up & weird again. Rolling backward with some repeated...

Thanks - I've been avoiding the harder stuff (more down-time) like LCA bushings and such but we finally got another grocery-getter so maybe it can finally happen. Meantime after your post I started looking around the forum for threads on those K-member sleeves, what to look for, and how to fix...

Hi folks, hoping someone can shed some light on this and/or has maybe even experienced it... First a little background: Car is a '73 Dart Custom 4-door beat-up daily driver my wife had when I met her and which she's driven daily since then, some 30 years. All stock, recent (around 9 months)...

Got some that look like they will work - thanks to everybody who replied!

LOL - I just realized you weren't talking to me about wanting some pics...

OK here a few representative shots:

Got pics but ran out of time to edit them & post. Will do later tonight or tomorrow.

I'll pull a wheel & take a couple pics tomorrow (I'm at work right now).

Thanks.

OK now I feel REALLY picky - turns out we also have 7/16"-20 studs (rather than the apparently also used 1/2"-20). I had no idea there were so many variations... (smh).

Hi & thanks for replying. They are fairly fat and definitely finned. 10 x 2-1/2" brake surface area and 1.781" O.D. outer bearing cups.

Hi & thanks for the reply. Hoping to get this thing squared away in the next couple weeks or so. You going disc on your 74?

Hi hemichuck, OK I see this post is 4+ years old, but any chance you still have a couple of these drum/hubs? And if so are they the 10" x 2-1/2"? Thanks, Mark
