    Question about split mono-leaf springs from Calvert

    On my 70 Duster drag car I currently have stock leaf springs that have been inboarded. If I switch to a split mono leaf, will the back end still come up on launch or will it squat like a 4 link or coil over?

    LCA Pivot Shaft removal

    It's been awhile for me. If that's the case, I don't remember if you have to remove the strut rod or just remove the nut from the LCA to the strut rod. On the pivot shaft, I would make sure I got replacement bushings that deleted the metal sleeves, because you're pretty much going to destroy...

    caltrac problems

    Post your video to youtube and then put a link to it in your messages. If you hook and then spin, your tires are rebounding (bouncing). if back tires are bouncing you may have too much hit or too little tire pressure or both. My car does a 1.41 60' leaving off idle and I have to put 13 lbs. in...

    Flaming River Manual Steering Box

    This is my factory steering box compared to the flaming river unit I put in about 2 years ago. Notice the mounting holes on the factory one! I was going down the track over 130mph with that damned thing! It went in easily around the headers. I decided to use a solid coupler, steering is now...

    Broken shock plate stud .

    The plates that come with Caltracs have a hole and a bolt. I needed longer ones so I just went and got some grade 8 bolts and they work fine. maybe they can sell you just the plates.

    Spring/torsion bar ID

    So the .810 bars I see advertised are aftermarket just for drag racing I suppose. I wonder if I would see much of a difference between the .830 and the .810 bars, other than in my wallet. Thanks!

    Spring/torsion bar ID

    So I'm trying to decide whether to replace my torsion bars and rear leaf springs. The torsion bars mic out to .833". Do you think these are .810" bars and the paint or rust is giving me the larger reading, or did Chrysler have some bars that were .833"? Also trying to ID rear leaf springs...

    Advice for replacing upper ball joints and control arm bushings

    UPDATE: Okay, I've got the socket for the small ball joint, but it seems to fit the ball joints very loosely. The correct size is stamped on the socket. I was wondering if they all fit a little loose like that.

    Advice for replacing upper ball joints and control arm bushings

    1970 Duster. Do I need to support the LCA to remove the upper one? I'm trying to avoid loosing a few teeth :oops: Should I unscrew the ball joint while the UCA is still on the car? I've seen screw type bushing remover tools advertised, any experience with those? Should I grease the new...
