    WHO HAS A RMS SUSPENSION ?

    It certainly shows well and looks like it too would be a fun ride. I have a old friend living in Plain above Leavenworth. He too is a real car guy with 6+ vehicles and is one of the finest paint / body people around. Spectacular work.... Your right, this has and continues to be a very strange...

    Steering Rack Leaking

    I don't want to jinx what is working so will preface this by saying for right now..... we have a remanned unit installed and as of today and 60 miles on the car, it is working and not leaking. This is number 5..... Since the last post, we installed a remanned unit that was suspect from the...

    WHO HAS A RMS SUSPENSION ?

    I live in Spokane with a 73 Duster outfitted with a 2007 5.7 HEMI. I installed an Edelbrock E-Supercharger to help with the HP. Really like the looks of your car. Which city do you live in and do you street drive yours often?

    WHO HAS A RMS SUSPENSION ?

    I just read your question. I am not sure of the dimensions as it was already installed when I purchased the car. The invoice for the rear is from DTS Custom Service out of Ionia, MI. States DTS Dana 60 Custom Axle Assembly for 72 A-Body (even though the car is a 73). No dimensions that...

    WHO HAS A RMS SUSPENSION ?

    I was able to go to a bigger tire - now 275 / 40 - 17. I also ended up using a spacer to center the tire as it was rubbing on the inner fender well. I did not tub the car although certainly thought about it....

    Steering Rack Leaking

    I read this earlier and know when we changed to the third rack, we did not burp or purge the rack. I have passed this on to my mechanic to assure we are doing this for the next rack. As for the fluid, not a dumb question at all as this came up several times.....I for one would not have thought...

    Steering Rack Leaking

    No. I do not have a tranny cooler or anything additional to cool the PS fluid. The temperature issue has my attention and want to use a gun to shoot both the pump, rack, and overflow just to make sure they are all within operating range.

    Steering Rack Leaking

    At the onset we checked the hoses. Typically the steering will auto rotate if the hoses are switched but unfortunately not the case here. The hoses match the fitting sizes so not much room for error here. It was thought of by others that maybe we were over spinning the motor due to the...

    Steering Rack Leaking

    I don't know. Bill Reilly tested the new pump and rack together on the bench with a pressure gauge in line. Then when I received the components, did the same thing only on the car; broke the pressure line from pump to rack to install the temporary gauge. Both set up's showed the same results...

    WHO HAS A RMS SUSPENSION ?

    Steering Rack Leaking

    We just installed a Carbone yesterday and it didn't make it 30 feet. The mechanic now has two more - TCI and a Detroit Speed. Hate to keep changing as doesn't seem to be addressing the problem....

    Steering Rack Leaking

    Further to your question.....with a pressure relief valve set at 800 PSI, I don't see where the idea of over pressure comes into play. Logically even if a person had a pump capable of say 50,000 PSI, the pressure relief valve should work and by pass once it hits that level. Unless there is too...

    Steering Rack Leaking

    Can't answer this with numbers. The steering performs great without hesitation or resistance. Alignment and toe in are all easy to set and within limits without anything exceptional taking place. When I ordered the RMS suspension, it was communicated at the onset that I was running a 2007 5.7...

    Yes both on the bench and in the car. Pressures do not exceed maximum in both cases

    WHO HAS A RMS SUSPENSION ?

    No problem with alignment. The needed adjustments have been to do with ride height. Since the system is so new, the car needs to get some miles to settle in and then be looked at again to make any further adjustments. Regarding the shocks, I agree and not interested in throwing money away...

    Steering Rack Leaking

    I have a new RMS front end in my 1973 Duster. This includes a Flaming River rack. To date, I have replaced the rack three times all due to leaking. I have also replaced the pump and check valve (to a lower pressure), replaced all the hoses, drained and replaced the fluid. Yesterday we tried...

    WHO HAS A RMS SUSPENSION ?

    I have one on my 1973 Duster. The Dana 60 was already installed when I changed over to the RMS 4 link. I have only faced adjustment issues with the assembly. That being said the race shop I use for alignment and adjustments strongly feels I should dump the Viking coil overs and go with...
