The car received an alignment 2 years ago and at the time I had the idler arm replaced. The guys who just replaced my tires are telling me that I need a new idler arm.

2 years ago and after hitting a chuckhole, it caused a bent rim. The wheel repair service offered at an alignment shop was to use a hydraulic press to bend the wheel back to its’ original form.

“total lack of experience”?

Thanks, yes, that’s what I meant.

1968 Dart GT convertible. 215/70R14. I have had the steel wheels cold pressed to factory specs, the pitman arm and the idler arm replaced with a wheel alignment, all within the last 2 years or less. I had a vibration at 50 mph that was bothersome and was told by 2 different tire stores that...

I just had BelleTire swap out some Cooper Cobra tires that were scalped from alignment issues with some new General Altimax tires. Wow, they suck! I drove less than 25 miles and they are too squirmy on the road and seem to drift. Any ideas on what is going on? Any recommendation of what...

Can anyone tell what year Dart this hub cap belongs to? And is there suppose to be that hole in the middle?

No, regular ralleye wheels, but I did just buy new tires. LOL. Probably for peace of mind.

Over the last several days, I have scoured the internet looking for wheel locks for my 68 Dart left handed thread 7/16 20 thread and 13/16 lug. Nada! Any ideas where I can find some? I know I should swap out the studs for right handed threads and live normally but too many moving parts for...

Thanks. Yup, I don’t know. I will ask the guy who sold it to me. But, you wonder? Car accident, someone deciding they want an “upgrade”........ I know there are guys out there looking for their orphaned engines. Needle in a haystack.

Well, no they don’t have all the answers. I try to stay engaged in the process with both eyes open, even though I can’t do the work myself. I’ve been skunked by a couple of wanna be mechanics that have caused set backs and costly redos. People do make mistakes and I try not to waste money and...

Just after install about 3 or 4 years ago.

Thanks for all the information and input. Anything is possible, but I am doubting anything is terribly mismatched i.e., having the old engine’s (360), harmonic in this set up. I bought the engine from a very reputable business owner/friend and high end Mopar guy that I’ve known for over 30...

Sorry for the misinformation. Whatever, I have on this set up, I’ve been running for 2 years. So, it must be an internally balanced harmonic balancer. However, the last two mechanics that have worked on car were pointing out that something must be bent or something, recommending that is should...

Can anyone help me figure out what I need to replace/upgrade a seemingly janky/wobbling harmonic balancer and main pulley? I have a 1970 340 TA 6 pack motor in my 1968 Dodge Dart GT. I believe when I had the motor installed, the old harmonic balancer and pulley was used. It wobbled in the pre...
