problem fixed. it was the driveshaft that was made by the prior shop that is garbage. guess I should not have taken it for granted that it was good. but I was dealing with a few other suspension issues at the same time all could have been the problem. thanks for all your help

hi folks, well I took my shaft to a driveshaft shop (25 years in business) and show him my driveshaft. once he saw the decal from the prior short lived shop that cut and balanced it for me many years ago he laughed and told me that was the problem. he figured he repaired/replace quite a few of...

hi folks well I drove the car today with a different drive shaft and it was worse. so I feel the first shaft front u joint seemed loose very easy to swivel so I think I will just have the shaft balanced and new u joints and see what happens. it did come out of a b-body that I had cut to length...

thanks for the input. I haven't had a chance to drive it since I put in a different driveshaft. I will keep you updated after I drive it. thursday

I have another driveshaft I will try it is 48 inches long so a bit shorter but if I get different results then I will get the new joints on the first shaft. I did notice a lot of grease on my drive shaft loop which is at the end of the trans so maybe the bushing/seal is bad.

hi folks well I have had a vibration for years but to narrow it down roughly the vibration Is there under acceleration and stops when I let off the gas pedal. the vibration gets worse the faster I go and it is not in the steering wheel just the body of the car. my rear view mirror in the car is...

hi folks, well after carefully measuring the gap between the floorboard and the snubber its at 3/16-1/4 at the most. the mopar chassis book say's 0-1/2 for 4 speed cars but don't pre load it. so I will adjust the gap to around 7/16-1/2 inch and choose the best personal setting. I have actually...

rumblefish I agree with you. the tires spinning is not good. I feel I just need to adjust the snubber where the tires dig in . as far as traction problem because I now am now leaving rubber marks marks it can be cured with good tires. but at least the rubber is digging in and not spinning on top...

hi there was always tire spin as if the tires were being kept of the ground slightly and I feel It was because the snubber was up against the floor board not allowing the third member to rotate enough for the tires to dig in

sorry folks my prior post should have been listed with snubber adjustment

well after years of wondering why my car would not leave the rubber marks on the street when I would do a burnout I always thought it was my ss springs that are for a 64-65 b body 3400 lb. but finally after looking at the pinion snubber it was about 3/8 " from the floor board. so once I remover...

i spent hours on the web looking to replace my mopar drag shocks on my 68 barracuda with ss springs. I found the Monroe gas magnum p/n 66859 to be a perfect fit but what really sold me was the 28 inches extended length. 35 dollars each e bay

thanks guys I thought they would work .don't get me wrong I measured both mopar and dr.'s hangers and they are the same in thickness etc. it's just the center pins for the bushings are welded in place to the brackets, in stead of using bolts pushed thru both brackets. I just like the welded version.

hi folks for years I ran the mopar off set spring kit but seemed to have problems so I have purchased dr. differentials off set kit and really like the front hanger idea of no drilling into the frame for the nut ,BUT I think the rear shackle brackets and bolts are not as strong as the mopar...

Thanks folks right now i have 1 inch to push the drive shaft in before it bottoms out so i think i will be ok. I may go with 3/8 to 7/16 thick material. Is alum. Ok to use or steel only? And the studs are just a axel lug nut studs ? I'm thinking i may need to go with longer ones pending on...

Hi folks, if i put a 3/8 thick shim between the frame and front leaf spring hanger for tire clearence and the wheel well will i be also loading the rear springs? Good or bad ? Street driven car. Thanks terry

hi folks thanks for all your input. I was able to find some Monroe shocks p/n 66859 that had an extended length of 27 1/8 " and it had the correct size loop hole bushings as my 68 barracuda. my current mopar ss shocks extend 25 inches so I hope these will help. i was able to find them for 35...

hi folks can any body give me some idea or part numbers for a correct shock to use with my ss springs on my 68 barracuda? i do currently have mopar ss shocks on but feel i could use something new. and they are discontinued for the 4 speed application. the closest i find are some monroe gas...

anyone know if i would have any problems fitting a hellwig rear sway bar on my 70 duster 8 3/4 with a disk brake kit from The Right STUFF ? the calipers are mounted on the front of the rotors.don't think i will but thought i would ask first. thanks terry

why does kyb only offer one part number for the front of a-body's no matter what the suspension or engine size is. seems to me you would have a different shock for a slant 6 with drum brakes compared to a 340 or big block with disc's.are all shock manufacturers the same way? terry

added description correction

does anyone sell a heavy duty front spring hanger that is NOT an off set shackle design but does have the 2 5/8 holes for the leaf spring to mount?

thanks for the input. it is just amazing how bad the welds are on the k=member from the factory. i wouldn't feel safe if i had a lawnmower engine bolted to it.

Hi folks does anyone have a link to modify a slant 6 k member for a 440 ? i already have the shumaker brackets and the k-member has been notched for the oil pump. but there should be areas of the k-member that should have gussets added along with the reweld of the terrible factory welding. i did...

hi folks maybe you can give some info on this i have p/n 3690457 on my passenger side and p/n 369045X on the drivers side.i see no one with the x part number for sale. i see that they are listed for a 64-65 b-body at 3400 lbs. car runs great and haven't had any issues. there on a 68 barracuda...

to 67dart273 YES your right about the u-bolts being at an angle not a heck of alot but enough to see it is not straight up and down. and not correct. i thought of putting everything back to stock location then just getting a 3/8 square aluminum plate and mill 2 slots in it that are even with...

hi folks here is my question i have a 68 notchback barracuda that i had pulled the rear end back to mount the front hole on the axle spring perch to the super stock springs. i also drilled another hole on the shock mount plate to help align the leaf spring center bolt.now this did give me the...

BINGO!! thats just what i needed: thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
