Shim the motor mounts?

For some reason, all I can ever do when reading your posts, is wish I was that bicycle seat in your avatar. Mmmmmmm.

Pretty sure heating them up hot enough to bend the steel easily enough, would alter the metallurgy of the spring steel and would do "bad things". Get a new set from Buy Quality Automotive Leaf Springs, Coil Springs and Suspension Parts for your Classic or Antique Auto and be done with it. They...

How many leafs are in that pack? I think mine have about 6. I count 7 on yours.

Can you post what part numbers the bearings and seals were? And I must have missed it, which passenger side axle did you get to go in there? Thanks

If I apparently didn't like the feeling of having it broke off in my *** every time I bought a part for a Mopar, I guess I'd buy a Chevy.

800% markup???

Do you happen to remember how much you had to chop off of your driveline?

I always try to set them by taking them in too far, and then rotating them out to where I want the camber to be. That way the cam washer is riding hard on the inner adjuster lip. If I hit a pot hole, it's going to try pushing the upper control arm inwards, not out. I'd try epoxy before I...

I recently did this on my 68 Barracuda, and I had to loosen the motor mount and jack up the motor an inch or two to get it out from the bottom.

Grab 2 pieces of 1/2" EMT 10' long, drill holes in them the exact distance apart for the front one and the back one, string fishing line through the holes and set the EMT on jack stands in front of the bumper and in the rear, and then align them to the rear wheels so that they are parallel to...

Couple of thick fender washers.......

Can you get replacement heim joints for the strut rods from PST or can you just source them from anywhere?

But was the steering box truly in the center of it's turn-to-turn? Or did they just shorten one side's tie-rods and lengthen the other side to center the wheel? How many threads are there on the driver's side tie-rod compared to the passenger's side? Depending on the answer, the alignment...

I doubt it needs an alignment. Did you loosen the upper control arm adjusters? Did you loosen your tie-rod adjusters? If not, that geometry has not changed. I doubt you can adjust the tie-rods enough to center the wheel, as there is only so much threads on a tie-rod end. You'd end up with...

Had this happen just very recently with a Firm Feel replacement. My wheel was centered before, and when I got the new one, it was off by quite a bit. Called and talked to Firm Feel about it, and they said that the master key slot wasn't always in the same orientation, year to year, model to...

I'm about to do this in my 68 Barracuda with a 340 in it, looks like I will have to pull the driver's side exhaust manifold is all to get it out. Possibly the brake master.

I bought these and couldn't be happier. Shocks - HOTCHKIS SPORT SUSPENSION SYSTEMS, PARTS, AND COMPLETE BOLT-IN PACKAGES

I'm about to pull the trigger on a FirmFeel box, $359 seems a lot better.

I would love to have one of these, but man, $800 clams is alot for a steering box.

I'm pretty sure you have to get steel up to about 1,000 deg F before any metallurgical issues happen. 300-400 hundred degrees ain't nothing to steel.

Yep, nice and sticky. Magic green goo.

I use 2 pieces of sheet metal with bearing grease between them for turn tables. Cheaper than hundreds of $$$$ for real turn tables.

Sway bar provision?

Other than just a generic o-ring, anyone know a specific place to get a replacement o-ring for the green bearing? I did some damage to one of the bearings on a set of stock axles I'm looking to sell but didn't want to put them up missing the o-ring.

I use fishing line. Much finer than twine.

Well, perhaps I will order up a new pitman arm. I guess it can't hurt to throw some money at the problem :banghead:

So I'm wondering if this is normal or if something is out of whack. If I jack the front of my car up, and grab the driver's side wheel at 3 and 9 o'clock, I can make the wheel move in and out without the pitman arm moving, the only thing that moves is the centerlink rotates on the pitman arm...

Did you ever find out what was moving?
