    How can I adjust wheelbase?

    I got most all of the suspension stuff from Doctor Diff. He sent us what look like stock upper control arms. The brakes are his early '70s disk kit ( knuckles, spindles, disks, calipers, etc.). I guess that makes the track width a bit wider up front? The lower control arms had new bushings...

    How can I adjust wheelbase?

    Thanks for the replies. The strut rods are the same length side to side, my kid did compare them when things were apart. I'll need to get the exact numbers side to side for the wheelbase / hub-to-hub measurement, but the right side is definitely a greater distance apart than the left. Maybe...

    wilwood front disc brake conversion

    Old thread...I know.....Just hoping to find out how this conversion turned out. We have a "69 Barracuda that we want to upgrade from drums to manual front disk. We don't really want to change out our 14" dogdish wheels either. Wilwood says that their kit will not work due to the size of our...

    Did you ever finish doing a front disk brake swap on your car? I saw an old post that you made...

    Did you ever finish doing a front disk brake swap on your car? I saw an old post that you made from 2012 asking folks about fitment with the original 14" dogdish steel wheels. We have a '69 Barracuda that we are looking to set up the same way with manual brakes and the stock wheels. Any info...
