Another brainiac that can't understand that VERTICAL pictures look terrible.

If you had the town you live in listed instead of USA, someone close to you may have something to help you. When I see a member looking for a part and their location is close to mine, I try to help out. I may have a 2.94 axle but it is in a '76 model car with the bigger bolt pattern.

Am I the only one that opens the door naked and ready to go?

MORE great information here. I don't know much about the 73-76 DRUM brake cars except that they used large upper ball joints....the same UCAs as the disc cars. I didn't know that the lower ball joints were standardized but it makes sense, 1973 brought several steering and chassis changes for...

That is nice of you to suggest that. When I started the thread, I had a different title for it, one that was vague. I changed it to pertain specifically to this issue so it will be easy to find with the search feature. I don't know if this issue exists when changing to the 1972 and earlier...

They could have made the disc unit's steering arm bends the same offset as the drum setups had. They are obviously different but who knows why..... I just wondered about this a few times over the years but never had an understanding as to what specifically caused it. Now I do. My curious...

Just confirmed. Center to center on outer tie rod ends of disc: 48”. Drums: 46 3/8”. That is 1 5/8 further apart on disc cars.

Drum: Looks like about 6 3/4 inches from center of zero on the ball joint to center of the tie rod hole. Disc. Looks like the same number. It appears to me that the difference is in the bend. I’d need to measure the offset of the arm from its mounting point on the spindle.

Different lengths? That would change the overall steering ratio. I can go measure these and report back. I'd like to get two cars on the lift and measure the steering linkage center to center of drum versus disc.

Like many of you, I’ve owned a few A body cars with 4 wheel drum brakes. Many of us convert to front discs, many times using the popular 1973-76 A body 11” discs. Throughout the years, I’ve noticed that every time I’ve made this switch, the front end alignment changes a LOT. Going from drum to...

Where are you?

I don't know how to do a meme with 2 pictures. 1982 just out of high school: 2002 just got the invitation for the 20 year reunion:

The middle of the road 6.4/392 is a great package. We own a standard 2015 5.7 R/T and while it is a great car, the added power and brakes of the 392 cars would have been a better choice.

You have been pretty stable and reasonably humble as far as I can tell. I've met some real jerks in my time and I'm getting pretty good at spotting them quickly.

Miguel… I thought you were a bona fide dedicated member of the club?

Think so? The "Jack" didn't appear in your house with a sandwich on a tray sporting a creepy grin.

Remember those weird Burger King ads with the plastic faced King? That dude was creepy with that stupid grin....the dude always just appearing out of thin air with a hamburger. The forest, a woman's house, wherever. If some ******* dork appeared in my house UNinvited, I'd hope my dogs would bite...

I would have NO problem using them. The small ball joints are plenty strong enough.

I suspect that is a prostitute.

Too bad there isn’t a test to point out the habit that SOME people have of monopolizing conversations. I’ve met too many clueless people that ramble on and on about themselves and what they think without letting anyone around them speak. That **** pisses me off and too damn many people do...

Saturday, Really? I thought that they traditionally had their show on Sunday due to college classes being in session on Saturday.

No...alignment should not change except when you raise the front off the ground, then set it back down. Once you move the car, it will settle into place. If all the components are in good condition, the alignment will only change as the bushings and steering components develop wear.

I can't help but think that THOSE that buy and drive these electric turds are absolutely doing it to appear cutting edge or sensitive to the environment. I suspect the owners may rate HIGH on the test in this thread: Are you a narcissist?

Does that happen often, Jeff?

I REtook the test and aimed for the maximum... Answer every question with strongly agree and you'd surely max out every category. I had "agree" on only two but "strongly agree" on the other 26 questions. (This was for entertainment and research purposes only.....This was NOT my actual score)
