    Lower ball joint question.

    So are the camber bolts supposed be turned equally meaning do I just not worry about it and drive it over to the alignment shop if it's close or is there a starting point that gets em close I painted everything so even if I made a merk it would be gone anyway.

    Lower ball joint question.

    Interesting maybe I'll do that run the stock wheels upfront with to get that stock offset and just get the size tires you have for the front. I'm getting rid of this 7 1/4 rearend I'm shorting a Ford 8.8 I got from the boneyard right now so it going to be interesting to see if that offset will...

    Lower ball joint question.

    Here's a few shots of the back the tires are real close to the leaf springs but no rub marks but I'm definitely checking tire pressure and clearance all the time. The back never rubs even with two people in the car it clears nicely even with very little air in the air shocks.

    Lower ball joint question.

    So they are 15 x 8 with 4.25 bs these are the set of 14's I have all four. Not sure how I would feel about running 15's in back and 14's up front. I'm gonna have to have that dented one swapped with a better rim off the back and fix the best one I guess. Any recomendations?

    I double checked they are 4.25 B's and have 205 65 15 on them this is what came on the car so I replaced the back ones first I'm gonna double check the width of these rims too. I just noticed one has a nice little bend in it glad you posted. These always cleared no problem. But the front always...

    Lower ball joint question.

    I have as big a tire as I can fit in the back Cooper cobra 275 60 15" the car had air shocks on it I really want those off there. I bought a set of the Mopar performance sport springs I believe. Thinking that would give me the clearance I need with regular shocks. I believe the off set is like...

    If you look back at the pictures I posted does the little round nub face towards the middle of the car also are the rubber boots squished under the bottom of the ball joint or out to the side like shown in the picture on on your car if so I have them flip flop. I thought I remember the rubber...

    Lower ball joint question.

    Thanks for the reply all really helpful info. I n looking more closely at alot of pictures of these castings it looks like some are machined some are just cast and left that way. Think I'm gonna try and take a flap wheel and get the powder coat off and just mark and grind the high spots and see...

    Lower ball joint question.

    thank you for clearing that up that was a really big part of figuring this out. when I move those bolts around they are pretty stiff compared to the old ones which are nice and smooth in regards to your question. As others have mentioned on various other posts on the subject you tear these front...

    Lower ball joint question.

    I agree this is DLZ chassis # 20B215 part number K781 which I believe they are referncing the moog part # which is 781 the other side is much flater I wonder if it is just a bad casting or thick powder coating. I thought about grinding that off and just carefully trying to get them to mate...

    Lower ball joint question.

    no its not but you can look at that surface and tell its not gonna flush u the way it should its just not flat. I think the seller of this kit said it will fit but its actually a drum brake ball joint. I will torque it down all the way and take a look. Are the drum knuckle shaped different.

    Speedometer cables part numbers

    I think your right in that should be correct but I can remember changing one in my 71 demon screw in at speedometer and I didn't pay attention at the tranny so they varried. It's also important to note I have no idea how well the cheap ones last. I noticed the one that was on my car was ran from...

    Speedometer cables part numbers

    So I just swapped out the actual cable spun it with a drill and it worked out fine. Only problem is my motor came out of a motor home and this is open rearend so the speedometer was way off probably need to switch the gear but it showed smooth on gauge no jumping around. I still think it would...
