    leaf spring help

    They should be the same, huh? Well I bought the springs many years ago (was still in high school, actually!) and when they arrived I remember noticing they were different, so put the stiffer spring passenger side. I had to monkey with the torsion bars a good bit just to get it sitting level, but...

    leaf spring help

    Gonna hijack a bit, but I think it's pertinent. I've had the XHD springs on my Duster for about 20k, but the difference in spring rate side to side is just unbearable now. Around left turns, I can't keep the inside wheel from breaking loose and right turns feel like I might capsize. You guys...

    Front Sway Bars

    So it seems obvious that front sway bars are well worth the price, but what about rear sway bars? If I get a front sway bar, will the rear sway bar make 225$ worth of difference? I like the looks of the Firm Feel sway bars.

    Wow that 10" spindle saw some action! What happened?

    duster weight

    Go with the XHD's if that's the only reason you're asking. The SS's really aren't necessary unless you're seeing frequent strip duty--ask MikelBeck, he stuck some SS springs on his Duster, good testimonial for SS on a stip car! I got mine (XHD) from Mancini, but I've never had any reason to...

    It never ends...

    Thanks Adam, I think that's what I'm going to do. As for the motor mounts, I've never replaced them and I highly doubt the previous owner did, I think the only thing he did under the hood was change the oil. I'm going to be calling Mancini today to see about the springs.

    It never ends...

    Well I went to get my front end aligned and there are a couple of problems. First off, the XHD springs that I put on the car (for those that saw the thread) are still crazy lopsided, about 3" difference; that alone complicates alignment a good deal. Secondly, the control arm bushing on the front...

    Flat Leafies

    The wheels are all 15x7 with a 4 1/4 backspacing and all the tires are just BF Goodrich 215/60 R15. Amazingly enough, the new springs lifted the front a few more centimeters as well, we haven't done anything to the fron since we got the car. I'm about to go with 15x8 4.5 back spacing, but I...

    And passenger side (the better side) I tried to go out and get a picture of the whole car in a side view (since I stupidly forgot to do that earlier) but alas, good lighting is hard to come by at 1:15 in the morning.

    Flat Leafies

    Well life hit me last week, so I never got around to posting the pictures, the springs are installed, but it's still quite a bit lopsided. I need to give the front end some loving to, and by that I mean I need stiffer suspension up there, it's floaty. So what advice can I get on the front? I'll...

    Springs/Shocks Questions....

    I wish I could offer some help, but I know no more than you. I figure a bump couldn't hurt though. Good luck.

    So with Super Stock leafs, will I need new shocks? Or do stock shocks have enough travel for them?

    Flat Leafies

    I'll go ahead an apologize for posting yet another leaf spring question, but I didn't really get the info I needed from the other threads, so here we go. I have a 74 Duster and the stock leafs would be good for a level but not necessarily for springs. I'm tired of the poor gal looking like she's...
