73 Dart Sport Reanimation
The lower arms got a set of delrin bushings that I turned on the lathe. I originally bought some trick poly type bushings but they distorted badly when I pressed them in. The delrin bushings have a steel sleeve that I pressed over the torsion stud to pivot on. Sorry I didn't take any pictures of the bushings. The arms got drilled and tapped to 3/4" fine where the original strut rod attached. I then used a Allen head cap screw threaded threw the arm for my new strut tube to screw onto and used 3/4" left hand threaded stud for the mono ball. Now the strut rod can be adjusted for and aft for slight wheelbase adjustment. Probably a little overkill but most this stuff was left over from my circle track days. The rest of the lower arm prep is the standard reinforcing plates. Upper a arm details next. I'm new to this forum stuff so I hope this a ok way present my build, and I not sure how about the size and amount of pictures to post. Any input would be welcome.
