1970 Plymouth Duster 5.7 Hemi/T56

Front suspension. Another one of those "read everything, second guess, triple guess, reconsider, and then do it. As stated before I needed the big balljoint upper control arms for the disc brake conversion. Used were hard to find or expensive for what they were so I splurged and got the QA1 stuff. Same with lowers, I looked at plating and rebuilding the stock pieces and considering time and money, I was bucks ahead with the QA1 stuff. The adjustable strut rods and swaybar are also QA1 pieces. Everything else, tie rods, idler, pitman arm, etc are off the shelf. The '70 drag link hit the back of the oil pan sump before reaching full lock. No Bueno. I think I read here or saw pictures here with the '73 and ayer drag link that locates the tie rod ends vertically instead of horizontally like the 70-72 piece. Looked like it would give enough clearance and it does. The front brakes are another Dr. Diff purchase.

Quick note that the OEM orientation is with the caliper to the front of the car. This makes the brake hose cross the centerline of the spindle and keeps it straighter.

Plenty of people have done it that way, just pointing it out in case you made an assumption.

Carry on, great work!
