The shocks are fresh. If they don't wear out why do people replace them? I didnt see more rust than expected when I looked at it. Just surface rust. Ill check the lower control arm mount but don't think anything is overly rusted. Maybe I just can't see it. Does that mean that the torsion bar is...

I have a 74 dart 4 door with a 318. The torsion bars are worn out, every time I turn one side dips pretty bad. Im assuming that's the problem anyway. But what size bar should I look to buy and what should i expect to pay?

Thanks for all the info, ill try adjusting the bars first, but it sounds like it may just be time to put a fresh set under it.

The reason I say that is because the steering in the car is not bad and would rather not tear the front end apart.

Yeah that's my dart. I talked to an older guy at the local auto parts store and he said it might just be that the torsion bars are out of adjustment. Is that possible? Seems like a simpler fix. Where are the adjustment screws?

That's all good to know. The car is completely stock. It has a 318 and 75,000 miles. Never had a /6 in it. So im probably looking at new torsion bars? The steering in it is okay but maybe I could redo that as well. Is relpacing a torsion bar a big job? Its also got 195/75/14 tires on it.

Found out it was the belt that was broken in the tire! Jacked it up and spun the tire and saw it wasn't even. When I pulled it off I saw the belt was broke in 2 places haha. Thanks everyone!

So I got my 74 dart last weekend knowing it needed shocks. It was very easy to bottom out when I pressed on it. So I replaced the shocks thinking that would fix the problem. It helped some but I can still press it down in the front to the point where it bottoms out easily. And when I go over...

Im gunna give all those things a shot and see what I come up with. The shocks I know are toast. Very old and worthless. So if its not that ill cross my fingers for a tire or rim. Hope its not the axel. I just bought the car and it had a smaller spare on it when I test drove it. Thought that was...

Thanks guys that helps a lot! It may be the shocks or the tire belt. Old tires and bad shocks so those are probably the culprit. Got new shocks to put on so hopefully that helps it!

My 74 dart has a wabble in the back right side when im going about 5-20 Mph. I was hoping its not the axel. And thought if it was the wabble wouldn't go away. Any ideas on what this could be? The shocks are bad in the car, idk if that can cause problems with wobble as well?
