    QA-1 lower control arms with factory upper control arms

    Hi everybody. This would be fine to do right? All the geometry would be correct you wouldn't need the QA-1 uppers?

    Shackle problem

    Hi everybody: My friend and I just installed an 8 3/4 in my Dart. How do I fix this? It spun up instead of pushing back. I don't know how it happened we couldn't have damaged the spring I'm sure. The other side is fine. There was an 8 1/4 in it before this one.

    Hi everybody: I just got my remanufactured manual steering box from "carsteering. com. I can hardly turn the bare spline with my hand. Is that normal? It seems very tight.

    Quick ratio steering box

    Hi everybody: I see on the Firm Feel site they are selling rebuild kits with 24:1 20:1 and 16:1 ratio options. Has anyone tried different ratios with the manual steering box and if so how do you like it? Thanks. http://www.firmfeel.com/a_body_mopar_manual_steering_box_rebuild.html

    Pitman arm for power or manual same?

    Hi everybody I was just wondering if the pitman arm for a 69 A Body is the same for a manual box as it is for a power box. I only ask this because the seem to be selling them on Ebay as one and the same.

    Converting to manual steering..Confused

    Hi everybody. I want to convert from power to manual steering on my 69 Dart. So I want to ask what adapter do I need for just a stock manual steering box. Also is there a difference in lengths in power steering and manual steer columns or is the difference all in the couplers? Thanks...

    Help with torsion bars with photos

    Hi everyone. I thought I would put these up so some people could either file them away to help others or some could use them right away for some problem solving. I can always solve problems much easier if I have a picture or photo to go by. Over a few days I've found some pretty good...

    Torsion bars don't seem to adjust

    Hi everybody. When I adjust my torsion bars the ride height seems to stay the same. Nothing is wrong with the mounts they were rebuilt. There's now way the bars would be twisting in the mounts.

    Adjusting torsion bars

    This is probably a really dumb question but I've never done it before. Do I need to jack the front end up and have the wheels off the ground to adjust the torsion bars on my 69 Dart? Thanks.

    DOH!!! Trans is good but.......

    I took my Dart a 69 in to get the 904 rebuilt. It works fine but now the suspension squeaks like the bajesus and one side seems stiffer than the other. What the F did he do? Do you need to take the torsion bars out to drop the transmission? Before the suspension was perfect, so quiet not a sound :(

    Ground clearance & Torsion Bars

    How much ground clearance does your Dart? I'd say my pan has about 2 1/2 inches. I've got 14" rallye wheels with high profile tires. Is that low? When installing torsion bars do you fit them in with some torque twisted on them or none at all...I was wondering about that for a long time. Maybe I...

    Going from power to manual steering

    Hi everyone. I want to go from power back to manual steering in a 69 Dart with a small block. It was originally manual steering and the power is great putting around town but feels a little airy...like you're flying rather than driving on a road when you're going 60 plus mph. What do...
