    Lower Control Arm Stiffening Plates

    They came on the lower control arms I bought for my 71 Dart. To me it doesnt make a difference in either normal street use or a little more aggressive driving. I think no one thing makes that big a difference for these old A bodies. It takes a lot of updating and add ons to make them handle even...

    Which power steering pump should I get?

    Well I just went through this last week. The 340 / 360 is no problem at all. If you want it bone stock that might take some doing because I beleive the pump is a Federal and that was hard to find for me. So I blew that off and said to myself "self go with the Sagianw pump". being a cheap SOB I...

    Oh man, Steering problem

    Actually I have been messing with it for two days now. The valve slides back and forth freely. There is no binding throughout the full stroke of the valve.

    torsion bar question

    My understanding is that if they are new it does not matter left or right. Because they are not front to back sensitive when new. The problem is if you take them out and put them back in. I think of it as "coil set" once a spring has been used a certain way for a while it does not like to be...
