I am leaning to your thinking.. The shaft is a splined shaft , it should not be able to move, therefore no play should be at the coupler, yet there is about a 1/4 inch to either side and if you combine the distance of the play it is about 1/2 inch.. I don't own a lift and with back surgery I...

This the picture of where the play is. before the wheels start to move, the roll pin moves from one side of the hole to the other.

Steering shaft and coupling pot is what I think it is. I will try and add a picture . I am wrong the excess play is at the coupling pot and the steering box. Just looked at it now. there is a roll pin in the hole of the coupling pot and that is where the play is..

That is my next step. I am going to try and take a picture of the problem area. Then I have to learn how to post it here. The area I am speaking of is where there is , what appears to be, a joint where the steering shaft top half joins with the bottom half. There is a slot and what appears...

My steering wheel shaft, on my 67 Barracuda, has so much play at the connection to the steering box, it is starting to feel unsafe. where can I take it to repair. ?? Constantly trying to keep it going straight.. **( Perhaps I am saying it wrong. The steering box was replaced, the problem...

How can I correct loose, sloppy steering on a 1967 Barracuda with power steering. It is to the almost scary to drive.

justsuspensions.com is 429.00 for a-body drum brakes kit and 539.00 for the disk brake kit.

For what it's worth. I went with ESPO XHD 1 inch over stock. When I first put them on it was "Oh sh-t, too high" but it turned out nice. I had the same situation your talking about, tires rubbing on hard launch, back seat passenger rubbed on bumps. All gone now and the stance is way good...

We have all heard of something or read of something happening but I have yet to see it first hand. I have been a Mopar freak since 1965 and I have had about a dozen and still have a Mopar and will always have one. I have replaced several upper ball joints and I always heard this story, yet I...

mopar66, I have a 67 Barracuda that I put new Espo HD springs on about 5 months ago and they were 1" over stock height and they haven't settled at all. In fact I raised the front about an inch, to level it out some, they are not settling at all . Maybe you need to call Espo. Springs will settle...

re-tightened the bushing today as suggested. There was a little difference of may a 1/4 lower. I think it will work out with time. I am going to lift the front a little if it doesn't settle some. Thank you all for the help. I am in the process of painting the car and when it is done I will...

That doesn't sound like a problem to do. I will do same this week and let you all know of any difference. One more question, "Do I loosen and re-tighen the front bushing also or just the rear bushings in the shackles???" Thanks for the help, I need it.

I have to say "No", to that. The car was supported by the frame while I did this. I installed the springs while the car was supported by the frame. I used a jack under the axel to align everything but the majority of the weight was on the frame so I could align the springs to the axels. Was...

Here are a couple of pics of before and after the ESPO springs. The first one is before ESPO and the second one is after ESPO. The original shock of the difference today is a little less than yesterday and I think it will be fine. I am definitely not going to pull them off and send them back, it...

The old springs were very beat, starting to arch the opposite way. I went 1 over because I have 275x40 on the rear and 225x45 on the front. I needed or I thought I needed the extra 1 inch to clear the rear. It was bottoming on bumps and when my bigger friends rode with me. What the heck it...

Well, I just finished installing the ESPO 1 inch over stock springs and I am really a little nervous. I just lowered my Vert and measured the new height and it is 3.5 inches higher than it was. I hope everyone is right that it will settle, this is not what I was looking for. I have 17 inch...

Thank you both for the info.. Took my bride to dinner tonight so I will finish the car tomorrow, after I go for a M/C ride with some friends. Thanks

I guess I sorta did. LOL I can't get to the back of the bracket at all, I take it that the bolts are studs welded to the frame?

I am installing ESPO XHD springs in the vert as we speak. I have a quick question, I haven't done this spring thing before so I need some tips. Is it necessary to remove the rear bracket to install the upper bushing? It looks like there isn't anyway to put new bushings in the upper part of the...

quote:"Goes away instantly as soon as I let off the gas and gets back into it as soon as I give it gas." I am not a gearhead, but this quote leads me to believe that your problem is not related to the tires and wheels as the vibrations stops when you let off the gas but the tires and wheels...

I'm probably not the most knowledgeable, but if you will jack up your front end and look at the torsion bars you will see a bolt that goes into the lower arm and that is the adjuster for the torsion bars. Loosen to lower and tighten to raise. You should drive the car a short distance and check...

Been there and done that. You have to remove the thrust button or the axles will not fit.. I didn't want to do that as I had just rebuilt the rear so I opted to take about a 1/4 inch off of one axle. I called Moser and they told me how much to take off the axle. I think it was a 1/4 inch, I am...

Hope these help. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n319/jovico/Car%20parts/subframe1.jpg http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n319/jovico/Car%20parts/subframe12.jpg http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n319/jovico/Car%20parts/subframe2.jpg...

That is about it, the cutouts to fit the floorpan aren't that close, you have to do quite a bit of grinding and trimming to get them close enough to be able to get contact to weld. You will have to make notches for the fuel line and take care with the brake line. You have to keep in mind any...

I thought about this layout but I just felt that the U S Car Tool ones being welded to the floor pan would be a little stronger, just my opinion. The 2x3 box would definitely be easier to fit. In fact there appears to be just fitting the length. The US match the floor pan contours and are welded...

I will take pictures of the completed job and post in a couple of days. I didn't take any pics of the install. I thought most folks on this site knew how it is done. The US Car Tool site has some pictures but they don't really prepare you for all the fitting that there is. They also show the...

I did some of the prep work and fitting. I got tried of crawling under the car during the fitting process so I went to Pro Fab and got Matt to finish the install. The console and seats had to come out, the carpet is just pulled back. The issue of rust was a little tricky to weld, but Matt was...
