I'm in the process of installing 1973 steering linkage on my 69 Dart and noticed the idler arm that I have doesn't have a grease fitting on it. As far as I know, it is an original idler arm. Did they not put grease fittings on them originally? If not, should I do anything else to lubricate it?

:thumbsup: Thanks for confirming.

Thank you. That's what I was hoping to hear. Now maybe I can get my steering linkage finished. Just have to get a pitman arm.

Thanks. Just to be clear, that would be still using my 69 P.S. box, correct? I don't want to change my steering box to a 73 style if I can avoid it as it would be a lot of work with the confined space in that area. I've been getting a lot of conflicting information on this subject so I just want...

Thanks but I'm aware of that. I want to switch to 73-76 style steering linkage on my 69 Dart. I have a 73 center link and idler arm to use but have to get a pitman arm. However, my power steering box is the original to my 69 Dart. So, I need to know if I were to purchase a 73-76 manual steering...

Will a 73-76 manual steering pitman arm fit on a 69 power steering box? I see they are both listed as small sector but just want to be sure before I purchase the pitman arm for my 69 ps steering box.

OK, good. So I have them the right way after all. Thanks.

"Me thinks the tapered end goes rearward." "I believe they're installed from the rear of the k-frame going forward with the tapered end to leading the way." "They go from the front to the rear." Now I'm not sure what to think. Does anyone have pics of them installed?

"Sounds like you installed from the front going into the k-frame towards the rear ?" Yes. I suppose they'll be a pita to get back out to reverse them. :BangHead:

I bought and installed a set of these strut rod bushings in the k-frame in my 69 Dart. Just want to be sure I put them in the right way before I bolt everything up. I installed them with the tapered end on the left toward the rear of the car so looking at the picture would be like looking at the...

I am using a DC big block spool mount k-frame and putting 73 upper/lower control arms/disk brakes on the car (69 Dart). The strut rods I was going to use were the original ones from the car (biscuit k-frame and drum brakes) as I didn't know the design changed on the 73-up. Can I use the...

Does anyone have a photo of the type in the second picture installed on your car that you could post? Does the tapered end get pushed through the front of the k-frame? Do they use the same type of washers as the other style and does the washer cup face toward the bushing or away from it? Is the...

Does the one piece type of bushing use the same kind of washers or some other type?

I've been shopping for strut rod bushings. Looking at the O'Reilly Auto Parts webpage (same with Autozone) they are showing two different styles of bushings. I was expecting the style in the first link but they also show the style in the second link as well. Does anyone know why there is a...

I took my 69 Dart apart back in 2012. I'm reassembling it now and somewhere along the way something happened to my idler arm bolt. Can someone please tell me what size the bolt should be and what type of castle nut is supposed to be on it? Also, are there supposed to be any washers? Thanks in...

They are the type on the left. Only one flat.

OK, thanks guys.

I am in the process of installing 1973 Duster disk brakes on my 69 Dart. I bought the brakes years ago including the upper A-arms. My question is, did the 73 upper A-arms still use the bolts with the offset washers? I thought I read somewhere that Chrysler changed them starting in 72 or 73.

I'm just wondering if the shorter column could have been from something like a Plymouth Arrow or some other smaller than an A-body car.

The column is a column shift column and all three columns I mentioned are for power steering.

I have a column that I was told was supposed to be a power steering column from an A-body. I decided I would restore it so I disassembled it and in the process I thought the shaft and tube/housing looked a little short so I compared it to the original column from my 69 Dart and another column I...

Thank you.

I'm looking for a column shift automatic power steering column for my 70 Dart. Is the 70 column a one year only column? I thought I read this somewhere once. I know other year columns will interchange but I want to put the correct column in the car.

Yes, forgot to mention, 340.

I want to swap out the factory power steering box in my 70 Dart for another steering box I have. I was looking at the box in the car and was trying to determine what I will have to do to get it out. The car has TTI headers on it. Does anyone know if the box will come out with the driver side...

If someone could post a picture of just the underside of a DC k-frame it would help.

WildCat, I sent you a PM.

Thanks, but I specifically need to see pics of a DC big block spool mount frame.

If someone here could post a couple of pictures of an original Direct Connection spool mount big block k-frame, I would appreciate it. I would like to see the underside as well as the top. Thanks in advance.

"Why would the springs be back so far if you only added the offset shackle kit?" The old straight shackles were hitting the frame too. I just never noticed it before. When I jacked the car up to put the offset kit on they dropped down so I didn't see them against the frame. I ended up noticing...
