So @charliec had a dilima, reuse his steering shaft that showed signs of having been molested or replace it. As luck would have it I had an unmolested steering shaft for the application and I have always wanted to cut apart a steering shaft. So we agreed to swap shafts, I paid postage to him...

Hi all, I saw a post on FB asking if a 73 up A body lower control arm would will work on a 68 A body. Except for sway bar mounts I thought they were the same. They use the same bushing. But in the parts books the number changes in 73. Thoughts

In another post a member was asking about what is needed to go from manual to power steering (I believe his car was a 70 up) I needed to swap shafts on my67 Dart #2, I'm going from power to manual (I did not want to use an adapter) so I documents the shaft lengths and details. 67-69 A...

I had my tires balanced today. The car is up on stands and the front suspension is at full drop. I put the tires back on and rotated the front left, all good. I needed to get to the back side of the drivers side tire, so I turned the steering wheel full left. I rotated the tire and there was...

I have a 67 dart, PS, floor shift, steering column. And a 68 barracuda, manual steering, column shift, steering column I want to swap the manual steering shaft into the PS steering column. I have read the FSM, seems pretty straight forward. Any tips? I know I could get an adapter, or...

I pulled the cast (omg that's heavy) iron power steering gear out of the dart I'm working on. I'm putting an OEM (light as a feather) Aluminum manual gear box in. The bolts from the manual 68 box are 12 point and have a flat maybe conical washer. The 67 PS bolts are 6 point and have split...

If I wanted to go from power steering to manual in my 67 Dart. Can I just swap out the steering shaft in the steering column? It's a floor shift automatic column. Disclaimer.... I know I can get an adapter. I know I could break the plastic lock pins in the steering shaft and lengthen the...

for a while I have had a clunk in the passenger side front wheel / suspension area when I apply the brakes at a slow speed like moving forward at a light then re applying the brake. Only seemed to do it when moving forward I finally got the wheel off the ground by supporting under the LCA with...

My 53 year old front sway bar end link bushings were shot. You could see daylight between the bushings and the mounts. My car: 67 Dodge Dart GT Convertible 273, 2bbl, 904 automatic. I looked around and ended up buying the kit from Classic Ind. (CI) ============================= Update... I...

Changed my shocks (finally!) Only one had enough gas charge to self extend, 2 were leaking oil. When I removed the rears I noticed... AAARRRRGGGH!

Hi all, I either a have dementia (or the search engine on FABO is crap!) Cause I searched for my post about factory shock color and came up empty I posted sometime since late 2019 asking about factory color on factory shocks for a 67 dart. The consensus was black. Last night I found this...

Thoughts?

Can the front strut rod bushings be replaced without removing the LCA?

Just replaced the idler arm and now the steering will not return back to center. The arm is the same dimensions as the old one. It only goes in one way. Might be that the caster was off before and the tight idler is exacerbating the lack of return. It is possible that the toe is off, now that...

There is slop in the upper A arm bushings. It doesn't seem to be the rubber. If there is play between the adjuster bolts and the metal of the bushings, is the wear most likely on the bolts or the metal of the bushings. Or am i missing something here?

The other day I grabbed the left front tire and gave it a shake at the top, click-click-click. Ok wheel bearing is too loose. Went to tighten it and found that the upper ball joint is the source of the click. Question... how much trouble am I looking at if I try to replace it myself? (I know...

I was nosing around under my dart today. I noticed something odd. It was little more than finger tight.
