I am curious...why did the mopar u-bolts come with the cross-hatch pattern on them? What was the purpose of it?

Just a heads up to all, as it was news to me- QA-1 bought edelbrocks line of suspension, and it makes sense now why I had a dog of a time trying to find some Edelbrock IAS shocks for my 65. I checked out summitracing.com to find a set for the rear, and they are clearing out their edelbrock...

dfnsmn34, where did you get your coupler rebuild kit? I see the little orange seal on there, just curious. thanks!

How much were the hellwig brackets by themselves?

What year car was this for?

Not sure, will have to check in storage tool box today or tomorrow. I remember someone used a pipe wrench after soaking the ball joiints in wd-40/etc. as a last resort to remove/install.

Your in glendale, if you drive to torrance you can borrow mine, just make sure I get it back! :)

Would that work on the early a body couplers too?

Have you tried bouncing the car to see if it rubs? Majority of the time suspension travel would have the arms moving above that lip anyway right? Guess it depends on your front end lift on hard acceleration or slant six bars.

Is this for column shift only, or think it might work with floor shift cars? The floor shift seal/bearing is pretty weak/flimsy thanks

Ask slantsixdan about that, I think he described its use, but my memory is hazy

Yes its a common coupler. Some did not come with that lock bolt, and some did. My 65 came with it, while a replacement 65 barracuda column did not. Read this about the rebuild (rebuild kits are common) http://www.1962to1965mopar.ornocar.org/ml-houstons-steeringcoupler.html

What kind of headers are those?

Did this ever get anywhere? Johnny will stil make em if there is enough interest...I just talked to him.

When was the last time you had an alignment?

If it is just the front bushing and not the rear, just retighten the bolt. (strut rod not torsion bar btw). Maybe it was loose before and caused it to fail?

Not sure, yet did you keep the left torsion on the left, and right on the right? Sometimes people put them on the wrong side.

Got the slant torsion bars in my 318 powered 65 valiant. I have a spare set of early a 626/627 bars (892/893). Would I notice a ride improvement if I put them in? All the suspension is fairly new and it rides pretty nice, just looking to make it a little stiffer. thx

Excellent, thanks for the quick reply. Any reason there is no washer on the through bolt going into the k? Anyone wanna buy my addco piece so I can get this :)

Do these bars come with a warranty? I only ask because Ive had brackets bend in the past from mild street use... great looking front bar btw

Sounds good all, I will double check. Mounts are schumackers and the car is barely driven, yet the bolts could be loose...and the engine DOES move a lot when I rev it with the hood open. Exhaust could be hitting the passenger transmission side, is all I can guess- If i accelerate really slowly...

When accelerating from a stop, I hear this grumbling noise coming from the front of the car/firewall area. Leaf springs in the rear are new (5 leafs), edelbrock shocks around, all bushings are new..only thing old on the car are the slant six torsion bars even though I have a v8 in there now...

IAS on my 65, awesome shock I think just different color between the 2 lines

nice!

thanks all

Mine were tight but the bushings could swivel if i turn them with my fingers Im getting an odd noise from the driver side suspension (like a soft knock) and all other bushings look fine in that area

Can anyone tell me how tight the endlinks are supposed to be for the front sway bar? Should the bushings be lightly squished or should they be able to swivel a little? thanks

I see sway bar link bushing kits, but what is the difference between heavy duty and standard? (rockauto for reference) Are the heavy duty bushings firmer providing less "give" when you push the car? I have an addco on the front of my 65 and want to replace the stock sway bar links/bushings...

Thanks! Any idea why these parts tear? The car is barely driven...

Upper control arm ball joint seal? Where to get? Mine has a small tear in it and im not happy as these parts are fairly new! A new upper balljoint runs about 40 dollars so I would rather just replace the seal/dust boot...anyone know where to get one? Thanks
