What about the torque spec for the upper ball joint itself threading to the upper control arm?

125ft/lbs? EEk! Guess I can rent one. Thanks!

I bought a set of brand new stamp steel upper control arms. I have to assemble it(bushings and upper ball joint). Should I put any anti sieze on the threads of the upper ball joint? Lastly, I don't have the special socket for the ball joint. Rather than spend the money from mancini racing can I...

Is it a complete front end bushing kit? If not what's missing? Reason I ask is you stated "I have what's left over".

Silly question, but I've come to realize my 1971 duster dosent have one. Anyone have pics of a mounted one and the location of end links and bump stops?

Bah, decided I'll just stick with them. Add new bump stops and decent shocks out back. I didn't take a full gas tank and 2 passengers out back into consideration. Does billstein make shocks for this application?

It did have air shocks along with Lakewood traction bars. I took it all out and replaced it with remanufactured spring bracket and cheapo shocks. Maybe that's why it sits so high? The shackles are adjustable and it's at the top notch. Was looking into putting reybestos shackles. I'm guessing...

I believe the rear springs are stock. I'm looking for a lower stance. If I Jack up the rear it'll sit high and I'll have to push down on the body for it to settle. I'd like to get at least a 1" drop while keeping it strong and sturdy should I want to put 2 passengers in the rear. Any suggestions?

I was going to just Jack the lower, however if it calls for replacing the lower ball joint I will. I've done front end suspensions before. I'm just not familiar with tjis particular one, because you need a special socket for the upper ball joint?

I have a 1971 duster. It has the 9" drum up front. I'm converting disc. So I bought this kit http://www.performanceonline.com/store/customer/product.php?productid=19537 and it calls for upgrading to the stronger spindle and A arms...

Thanks for the clarification. I guess this is just a cheap fix for the mean time. The headers are brand new "Summit" Brands. #5 is just laying next to the steering column. It isnt too bad. Thanks again.

Finally Found the anchor mount at some local R&S strauss place. I have to go and pick it up in a bit. Is this common for some to throw in a mount made for a pickup into a K frame A body? I'm assuming It should just bolt on?

you guys have done more than enough, thanks so much :)

In the first post that's a picture of the supposid original mount. It does seem like its sagging. We loosened the bolt and raised the engine and it needed about a half an inch of height(front end) to clear the headers from the steering column and center link from sitting on the oil pan. Besides...

That would really help. Thanks man.

not that I'm lazy, but do you have a mid 80's truck in mind,lol? Maybe even a part number from some parts store? :D Excuse the laziness.

The picture is taken from the front end right before the K frame. This whole design is really odd. They mounted the engine mounts up front and the rear is only supported by the transmission mount. As mentioned before, when we loosened the mountingt bolts and lifted the engine about an inch, it...

I can't seem to find motor mounts that fit my application. I went through many parts distribution center through my friends shop and always gettting something which dosent match. It's a 1971 duster with a 340 engine from a 68' barricuda. The mount is so flat that the driver side header is...

I've never heard of this "ball Joint" socket". Something i can pick up at an autoparts store? :lol:

I have a 1971 duster which has been sitting for the better par of 15 years. I've already modified the induction on the 340. I'm installing a rebuilt 904 tranmission and just redid the whole rear brake setup. I'd like to have this as my daily driver. I believe the whole front end suspension is...
