    Outer tie rod installation -solved

    I'm replacing my outer tie rod ends with Moog ES319R which rockauto lists as the correct part (no L or R indicator so I assumed it was good for both sides. The old one came off easy with a reverse thread (screw in to remove). The new one seems to be the opposite thread. I feel like I'm going...

    [Found!] Torsion bar clip and upper control arm eccentric washer

    I know i can get these aftermarket but seeing if anyone has these laying around. 1) One of the upper control arm bolts I removed when replacing the control arm just had a regular washer on it vs the concentric washer. I assume that's no good so looking to see if anyone has 1 washer before I...

    Strut rod removal

    So I'm rebuilding the suspension on my 68 dart. It's all apart, new lca bushings in and new Qa1 uppers ready to go. I was reading the install advice on here and realized I forgot to check to strut rod bushings. They are indeed bad. Right now the rods are disconnected from the lca but connected...

    Lower control arm pivot nut - how do you stop the pivot shaft from spinning?

    Im doing a front end rebuild and am left with the LCA pivot nut which just spins the shaft when trying to remove. I left some tension on the torsion bar but that doesn't seem to help. I can't see anyway to hold the shaft still. Based on the other bushings, this one is probably non existent...

    68 Dart Lower Control arm nut size?

    In the process of removing my lower control arm for rebuild, the nut from the pin fell somewhere in the engine compartment and I cant find it. Are these bolts easily replaced or are they a special size? Thanks in advance.

    360 dies at idle, but not when in gear ??? Huh?

    Hoping for some direction....have a stock 360 with a carter carb. The car has run fine up until today. It starts right up, goes into gear and will run like that all day. Put it in park and it stumbles and dies within 15 seconds. Fires right back up. I can understand if it stalled when you...

    Addco sway bar install - 68 dart

    I consider myself a smart guy but this sway bar install has me stumped. Anyone install an Addco on a k frame with the lip? Only way I can see this working is if I use the angle for the bottom and leave the top ‘floating’ meaning it’s not bolted to the car anywhere. Does this sound right ?

    Subframe Connectors....buy or make?

    I know this topic has many posts but looking for opinions on buy or build. The cost of steel has risen and a 1 1/2 x 3 length of tube to do the job is $70. Wondering if buying is the better option given the fabricating time involved. Thoughts?
