I'm getting into the weeds on the suspension of my '73 Dart. I removed the damaged boot from a factory tie rod end and began to look at it closely. I see that the stud has a ball on the end of it that articulates inside a socket. That socket, in turn, articulates inside of a larger socket. Am I...

I installed an Energy Polyurethane dust boot on an upper ball joint and I'm not sure how the big end is retained. It looks like it just slips over the ball joint body, but it flexes and slides around as the uca travels up and down(exposing a little bit of the ball joint body). There are no...

1973 Dart here. Do you need to have the full weight of the car on the LCA bushing to tighten the shaft nut to spec? I'm using Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings. I greased them according to instructions. I just want to get it snug but with the car currently in the air the nut reaches a...

I'm restoring one now, mainly because it was bought new by my favorite Aunt. My whole family adored her. Besides, it only has 60K miles and was gently driven. Very little wear and tear.

Today I was attempting to remove bushing shells from an upper control arm and I got a little careless, and might have bent one of the "ears" holding the bushing just a little bit. Is it toast? Can it be fixed by a automotive machine shop. Can the front alignment process compensate for this?

I found this swatch of dark green fabric hiding under the old carpet in my '73 Dart I'm restoring. There's a little white tag attached to it. Was this an assembly line aid? Anyone else find these?

My 1973 Dart resto project calls for new carpet(green). The company I wish to buy from has 5 different shades of green. I can't tell which color they have that is closest to the shade of green in my Dart. I never was good at distinguishing colors. Any suggestions?

My 1973 4-door Dart came from the factory without a front swaybar. How difficult would it be to add one? Bear in mind there's no tab/bracket on the lower control arms to attach the sway bar links. I could Weld some on but I'd need the measurements to get the geometry correct.

I'm restoring a 1973 Dart. 225 slant. 80K miles. It's been in storage for many years. I've removed the lower control arms and everything associated with them. I'm certainly going to replace the lower control arm bushings but should I replace everything with new parts while I have it all apart...

I posted this in the General discussion forum. I hope that's okay: Has anyone figured out a good way to clean a 50 year old gas tank? My '73 Dart project has the original tank. It's not rusted. It has some kind of gritty deposits that precipitated out of the gas over the years. I checked...

Has anyone figured out a good way to clean a 50 year old gas tank? My '73 Dart project has the original tank. It's not rusted. It has some kind of gritty deposits that precipitated out of the gas over the years. I checked youtube. The videos I watched seemed a bit sketchy.

My 1973 Dart was in storage for many years. Now it's time to restore it. The ecu leaked it's contents during that time. I don't know what it is but it left a gross, sticky residue all over the inner fender. Any ideas on how to clean and remove it? It looks like it's stuck on pretty good, like it...
