Was everything lined up before you made changes? Is the steering wheel on the column installed correctly? Toe alignment?

The steering box may have more than one set of keys? Move the box to center.

Try to get the disconnected steering box centered, then the column lined up at 12'0clock wiggle and push together

Yes its keyed, clean both ends, grease and a helper. It does take a bit of force to get in place. Don't forget to reinstall the roll pin.

If you look at pics from original cars rolling off the showroom floor they where lower than expected or often seen now.

Anyone considering ESPO, mine have been in 20 years and the ride height is still the same.

Flip the front spring brackets to lower it about 1 inch, if they snag over time flip them back to the original location. This requires you to oval out 2 of the mounting holes. If you don't like that option either get lowering brackets or ESPO springs which in my experience do not snag.

Try and find a few spots to weld the connectors to the floor where its not going to cause and damage to the interior. Maybe slip a small plate under the carpet and wet it a bit to prevent burning. A few welds will make the chassis more "unitized".

The mounting point on the frame rail needs reinforcement. Sandwich a plate between the mounting bracket and frame rail (like a big rectangular washer) weld it on if you can. Without, over time with hard use the frame rail will get pushed in.

I have it on both my 66 cuda and 66 valiant. I can't remember how many cooper washers I used to space out the relief valve. I remember on the Saginaw pump they are easy to install so you can add and subtract washers until you get the feel desired. I liked the results along with adding a strut...

Like all above plus, some aftermarket Lower balls joints have a larger protruding section that limits turning, may have to grind a bit off? If this section hits first grind a little at a time and use the LBJ as the instead of jamming the steering box to its limits.

The Grant adapter is a pot metal POS that will strip out the 3 bolts for the horn . And worst mine slid down the splined joint too far and when the column nut gets tightened the horn ring will contact the blinker switch and the horn will sound sometimes when turning. I did not know the about...

I had the same experience with a replacement (cheap) turn signal switch. It turned out to be the prong the on the aftermarket steering wheel hub(Grant) was not quite long enough to contact the cancel cam of the turn signal switch. My solution was to JB weld a small dab to the wheel hub. The...

Maybe an Early B body rear, a little wider to fill out the severe under bite look.

I would use something a little smaller like 2 inch, 3 is a little overkill. And yes the braces may need to get trimmed. Cut them flush against the sub frame connector and weld them together. The more you can tie together the stiffer the chassis.

Thanks for the info better to know.

Thicker layers of paint tend to chip easier then thin ones. It has been my experience to thin the rustoleum and spray it. This seems to soak into the pores of the metal much better than a thick dipped part. Spray cans are not thinned enough, use a gun an mix it very watery.

First determine if something is wrong or worn or loose on all steering related parts. If your car has a saginaw PS pump, it can be shimmed to reduce pressure.

Yes reinforce the frame rail in this area as the added stress will sometimes cave in the frame rail or the square bolt holes will wallow out. Had it happen

KYB

B body 8 3/4 fills out the ugly wheel well inboard spacing thing on Dusters.

Look to see where the front strut rod mounts to the K frame if is pushed or depressed in.

Funny you should mention Japanese parts from decades ago where called Jap Crap now they are considered high quality. I told this to my 32 year old son who is a Honda guy and he looked at me like huh? Makes me wonder what Asian country is the next quality producer of goods or garbage. Things...

When I was younger cheaper and full of energy... I took a set of SS springs rigged them up between two trees and used a bottle jack and pressed them backwards against there arch. I did de arch them and even them out so the car sat lower and level. Don't know if this DANGEROUS method would work...

Firm Feel and Steer and Gear both very good. They offer different levels of firmness above stock

What is the purpose of the car? Get the ALL the parts required to get you there. Not worth taking front end apart to replace a couple of worn bushing Take entire front end apart in your garage if you are capable Not worth having somebody do it. If you pay a shop check them out!

Yes I have also noticed retailers using the fade away ink on receipts! Beware of this trick, maybe laminate the receipt with clear shipping tape to preserve?

I remember that the disk ball bolts being slightly larger will not fit thru the drum ball joint holes.

I think that the disk spindles have treads to accept the ball joint bolts which are slightly larger sized bolts for the disk spindle. I was in a bind once and put drum ball joints on a disk spindle using a nut on the spindle to accept the slightly smaller drum bolts. The bolt spacing is the...
