Front End Problems
My car has dic brake steering knuckles, not sure which ones. They appear to be left/right reversed, which causes the brakes to be mounted to the rear rather than the front as a factory installation. Good or bad? Is there any offset? One thing is for sure it helps clear some sway bar interference issues and reduces the travel for the brake flex line, which is toward the back anyway. Not many early cars were optioned with disc brakes and sway bars, and drums did not provide as much interference. I dont' know which knuckles I have yet, A, B, C, or E body, which is noted to change the front end geometry, some say bad, some say makes no difference. Same is true for the upper and lower control arms, although my lower control arms have brackets at the lower outer end for a sway bar much like a 67-69 Barracuda I saw. The lower control arm bushings will be investigated as to causing my torsion bar adjusters to rub the inside of the frame rails, possibly causing the front end to raise and lower while driving, during acceleration and braking and staying there. It's up on jack stands again. Thank you for the help guys.
