Well I got my Demon on the road today and found that the manual steering seems to be a bit lookse. I was able to turn my steering wheel almost a 1/4 to 1/8th turn in either direction before the car responds. It appears to get worse at higher speeds. Is there a way to tighten the manual...

I havn't measured the pinion angle, but just from looking at it it seems fine. I have done a bit of work with Jeep drivelines and suspension fab, I assume a-bodys are similar. You would want the pinion to be positive about 5 degrees so when it is under load the pinion will rotate downwards and...

Counted the leafs and it appears that both sides have 4 leafs. The passenger side has the smaller bottom leafs offset farther forward I assume this is to counter axle wrap? I guess I will just wait and see how the leafs settle after putting some more miles on them.

I will check the spring count when I get home. I did verify the springs were on the correct sides 003 - drivers (left), 002 - passengers (right). I guess it would make sense to have one preloaded more than the other to account for engine torque.. the right side (high side) is the drive wheel.. I...

To clarify...the car is sitting higher on the passenger side. And to clarify my shackles are pointing forward, meaning the bottom of the shackle (spring eyelet side) is forward of the top of the shackle (frame mount)... Thanks...

I installed the 002 and 003 SS leaf springs form summit and now my rearend does not sit evenly. If you look at the car from the rear it appears that the passenger side is about 1" higher than the drivers side. I verified that the springs were on the correct side (003 is the drivers side spring...

Thanks guys! I was hoping I could just drill them out, much easier than buying new bushings. I am going to pick up a couple grade 8 bolts on my way home and will be widening the hole on my drillpress. I was considering flipping my hangers, but first I want to see just how high it puts the...

I got my new SS Springs from Summit and began the installation process. I found that the new front SS spring bushings were too large for the stock front spring hanger bolt (car is a 71 Demon). Has anyone else encountered this problem? Would it be recommended to replace the bushings or drill...

I have done suspension work on other vehicles (mostly jeeps) in the past. In these instances you will need something to press the bushings into the shackles. I used a large c-clamp with large washers welded to the clamp pads. This allowed me to evenly press the bushings into place. I have also...
