    Steering All Over the Place at 55mph+

    I was pretty sure that was you that said you were running about seven and a half degrees positive caster with the offset bushings in aftermarket arms I didn't think he had need of it but I figured I'd call her so you can totally describe it and yes it does look to me like he's pushing backwards

    Steering All Over the Place at 55mph+

    Man, those things are a Lil Crusty! lol, you can go with the offset bushings I guess to gain even more Caster but I doubt it would be needed, I don't know, @72bluNblu would know more about that tidbit. I want to say some of those come with bushings in them anyhow you could probably get rid of...

    When I made my press tool I used two different sizes of pipe, to remove and to install

    Hope this is not true. Moog Offset Upper control arm bushings.

    If you want more caster, you want one in and one out. So the UBJ is pushed to the rear

    More needed caster?

    Well with the way you have the knuckle and the upper ball joint assembled in the pic, I can Really visualize! That's insanely totally different than the factory ones, I love it I bet those things will just get cooking with Crisco man!

    Leaf spring clamps/straps

    They are way tighter, I hated removing the rear tires on my 66 Satellite, I had to jack up the body and let the axle hang down and fight em on and off

    Leaf spring clamps/straps

    I must have missed what car it is I look back and kind of tried to back read on it, but I didn't see anything, anyway on the Duster, I have super stock Springs (I'm running 295 50 15 )I took a framing square, and I would have been able to fit the 275 60s with no problem (Well I used a tape...

    Leaf spring clamps/straps

    All I know is I had a Big block 4 speed car, with 318 leaf springs after I rebuilt the motor and took it around the block with some Mickey Thompson Sportsman "i"s, I went and got aftermarket leaf spring thicker clamps and put them on a head of the axle to reduce spring wind up it actually helped...

    Sway Bar Shock Mount Angle

    All right here's my unofficial, official judgment, why are the bolts for the K member parts looking forward like the headlights instead of being parallel to the drive shaft? And the other part the tab is definitely jacked up ain't no way in hell that thing should be all crooked like that. I'm...

    Sway Bar Shock Mount Angle

    In my unprofessional opinion, after playing with a couple of them, one of them being a 70 and up K changed on my 66 satellite (someone else did) and rear mounted FMJ calipers (some rocket scientists put the bleeder valves on the bottom), and on my 74 Duster Factory front sway bar, it almost...

    I've tried measuren' them off the treads, always being careful to make sure I'm at the same point on each one, either inside or outside the groove, must be the tires that I currently have on there, cuz I had no luck at that when I did the straight edge thing it got dialed right in with a...

    Ride height setting confusion

    I probably need to loosen up the LCAs and raise mine, I read somewhere that the head of your adjusting bolt should be flushed with the bottom of the LCA, mine's up in there quite a bit just to get clearance that's about within factory specs but I'm running a 215 60 15 on the front, I really kind...

    Sorry, Bracket Racing is where you dial your time in, if the car goes too fast you lose automatically otherwise whoever hits their time (that they dialed ahead of time) Or gets closer wins

    You're saying you weren't going to take your /6 car to the track.... I was mentioning how my buddy ran his Slant six station wagon at the track he used the 2x4 under the gas pedal to limit the pedal travel... he ran the brackets and the car was extremely consistent and it's Time Slips to what he...
