Originally 318 but now 360 Magnum and they are 5 leaf and supposed to be built as originals. Prior to installing I placed the new springs side by side and they were the same.

To your first reply: These are suppose to be as originals. I pulled off 002/003 springs because I did not like the harsh ride. As I remember, I changed the right side last and not sure if car was on ground when I torqued it up. Could I just loosen the big bolts toward the front and same...

Installed new 5 leaf rear springs and new KYB shocks on all 4 corners. Adjusted torsion bars per the manual and the right rear sits 1" higher. I did this 3 weeks ago so I figured the suspension would have settled in but rear still uneven. I measured the front from the floor to bottom of wheel...

i did compress the shock but the KYB expanded too fast to get into position. i did use the zip tie method. i had to link 2 heavy duty zips together and i took a small 75# zip and placed it between the metal washer and the upper body of the shock and left it loose. i then took the HD zips and...

Thanks for the replies!! The rears were compressed and banded, but most likely to fit in a shorter box. Why couldn't they do this on the fronts? Thanks again

I replaced rear shocks no problem. Having trouble with the fronts. I removed wheels/tires and removed worn shocks without any difficulty. I compress the KYB shock, but can't move fast enough to get it in place before the shock fully extends. Is there a strap to hold in the collapsed position...

Thanks for the advise, got one side late last night and will do other this weekend. Gary

I have SS springs on my Duster and want to pull them off and install OE type leaf springs. How would I do this without dropping the whole rearend? Thanks Gary.

I have the SS springs with lowering blocks on a 74 Duster and I don't like the harsh ride. Going back to stock.

What is involved in going with the 4 link set up? I would like to know what goes out and what goes in. Price? Thanks Gary

How are those shocks?

Aren't these the same as SS springs? I would like something close to stock.

Was that for a pair and did it include shipping?

Enough of racing and the rough ride, time to enjoy the ride.

74 Duster with SS springs in the rear. It was too high so I added lowering blocks and ride height is OK, but very stiff. I want to pull SS and blocks and replace with standard springs. I know PST offers some as well as Hotchkis. Any others and what do you all think Thanks Gary

Actually mine has the original steering coupler but it and the headers don't get along. I've often heard the original coupler called a rag joint but it is original to car. The headers are installed and I can't get in there to modify it so it does not hit the coupler. What about the joint from...

Has anyone used one of these to replace rag joint on 74 Duster? Part number and vendor?

So if i do order them, will I get a generic set or a set designed for a 74 Duster. Will not spend $400.00 for shocks unless they are designed for my car!! Still need part numbers. I will check PST and see if they can supply. Thanks Gary

I checked on the Bilstein US website and they do not list a part number for a 74 Duster. Anyone have the numbers for front and rear? Thanks Gary

Do you remember where you got the parts and what parts did you use? Are you satisfied? Thanks Gary

The steering coupler.

I have a cheap set of flowtech headers on a 74 Duster ( 360 Magnum ) and power steering. While turning the steering wheel the steering joint hits the headers. Can this be replaced with a simple flex joint with a smaller OD?

I have SS springs on the Duster and the rear end was about 6" higher so I put in lowering blocks on the axle and the ride height is about normal. I have comp engineering 3 way adjustable shocks and when I hit a bump seems like shocks bottom out. Car rides like crap. I would like to restore to...

I need the drawings from the FSM to assist me in the reassembly of the column. Thanks

I am in Louisiana, 50 miles southwest of New Orleans.

If anyone has a spare hanging on the peg board in the shop, let me know. Thanks

Just rebuilt my steering coulping in my 74 Duster and can't get the metal clamp over the seal to fit properly and stay on. Is there a spring type clamp available to secure the metal clamp? Thanks

Take it to a frame shop
