1973 Dart Suspension rebuild
Hey all,
Awesome advice and insights.
Roy, I live just live outside Hinesville, GA, in farm country, I thing we exchanged texts on axle housing you had for sale? As Far as the rear tires are concerned thinking about running BF Goodrich Radial T/A Tire P235/60R15 in the rear and BF Goodrich Radial T/A Tire P225/60SR15 up front. Not sure I want to relocate springs and adjust the wheels wells to fit these bigger tires. How about rear coil overs and Anti Sway Bar with the less wide tires? Or will the 15's tire still create issues with fitting in the wheel wells or maybe able to correct with offsets?
I do have the shop manuals, but appreciate the link and will download to have on my laptop for on the go information.
Tracking all on parts inspection and investing in a new steering box, currently no Anti Sway bar up front, thinking with the headers that it will not fit. It may limit my options for adding a ASB. In regards to the lower control arm pivot pins and the mating holes in the K member, what is the best methods to fix? Or do you have to replace the K-Member?
The trick will be to find someone locally that understands the older suspension and can use the "skoch" chart to guide the alignment.
I greatly appreciate you all taking the time to share knowledge and experience. This is going to save me a lot of time and hopefully resource as I go forward with the repairs.
Thanks!
Ed
