Wide Fronts on a 68 Dart
Really?!
Seems to me like they should last quite a bit longer than that in ideal conditions. I would never expect them to last as long as a bushing just because of the design, but anything under 10k miles is a pretty big hassle. I figured mine went simply because of the use on wet roads and the tendency to pick up road grime when that happens.
On the A-body Hotchis UCA's do the heims sit in the middle with the arms perpendicular to the UCA mounts? Ie, do you think that the heims could be replaced with something like this?
On the E-body there's no way, the tube of the UCA is actually at a slight angle to the mounting bracket, and with the relocated front mount there's no way to put anything other than a heim in there.
