    WHO HAS A RMS SUSPENSION ?

    Sounds like a fun ride! I’m in Wenatchee and haven’t had the car out in a while. Been a weird year...

    WHO HAS A RMS SUSPENSION ?

    Street Lynx, relocated with narrowed rear for 325 tire. No cons so far. Tubular uppers and strut rods up fromt.

    Steering Column Collar Install

    As already mentioned, there is a large set screw that secures it to the inner shift tube - nothing else. With the column fully assembled that section will rotate from side to side a little but that's normal. I have a series of old pictures here: Interior Work - 1970 Plymouth Big Block Duster...

    Found a trick to install torsion bar boots

    Good tip, Steven. BTW, I found the replacement OEM style boots to be kinda crappy (the last ones I installed split shortly afterwards just sitting there) so I decided to go urethane from Energy Suspension. Now, if you think OEM style are fun to install, then the urethane versions are a blast...

    Spindle I D needed

    Yes, 2". They're over $500 new so they may be worth something to someone if you don't use them.

    Spindle I D needed

    Those are Fatman drop spindles. The '73 and up UCA and joints should work. They're actually designed for F-Body (Volare/Aspen or all B, F, J, M-Body vehicles) cars but will work on A-Body's. All stock brake and steering components will bolt right on. The difference between the two is, the...

    Alignment

    Yes, it's apparent that would be the better solution. This is a compromise on their part. Funny thing is a Hellwig tech sent me an email a short time ago suggesting a 55914 might be a better choice (for 63-66???). It mounts to the front of the K rather than underside which might help the level...

    Alignment

    Not to hijack but I have a 5906 on my Duster with the shock mounts. I also have aftermarket strut rods (Reilly). I was just messing with the end links last night. Photo #5 in their instructions shows the link pretty vertical but in reality, I don't think there's a way to get it there. Because of...

    Flaming River 1505M manual coupler kit - sloppy?

    Thanks guys. I’m sending it back. Never got a response from FR and for the $, I expected a little more precision.

    Flaming River 1505M manual coupler kit - sloppy?

    I have no real complaints over the OEM coupler but I have a Flaming River power to manual kit with double D shaft and u-joint. I have this question into their tech dept but looking for user feedback here. Manual box has clean, sharp splines with no signs of wear. The OEM coupler fits over it...

    How to remove the steering column shift column tube

    On a floor shift column, the lower third section of the column (some refer to as collar) is actually held in place with a set screw to the shift tube. So, you can shorten the tube where it sticks out on the engine side, but it needs to remain. If you remove the tube, there's nothing for that...

    Disc break conversion

    I ordered ACDelco 18J1798 hoses (for ‘69 Camaro) from RockAuto a few months ago and they fit/worked great (coupled w/1980 Diplomat calipers or equiv mounted rearward). I believe the specs say they’re just over 15.6”. Came with crush washers and bolts, if I recall.

    Magnum Force 2" Drop Spindle

    I have a set of Fat Man spindles (which I will be selling). They were designed for F-body suspension so they're a little taller. In all, they work and function fine, however the lower inside edge needs some beveling or chamfer IMO just for better ball joint boot clearance.

    Initial setup of adjustable UCA?

    Crickets, eh? No problem. Current RMS instructions for their arms say to start at 1/4" out on the ends (vs 2 turns) which is at least double. I ran them out equally almost 7/16" to get the cams near neutral and still allow a lot of adjustability. I may invest in a Longacre gauge to make final...

    Initial setup of adjustable UCA?

    Maybe 72bluNblu will chime in here since he's been around the block a few times. Here's the project and a little background... Ditching the the Fatman 2" drop spindles and .89 torsion bars (all of which I was mostly satisfied with) and putting the stock spindles back on with 1.03" bars from...

    Yeah. I had a key in buzzer switch in mine.

    High pitch noise in steering column

    Doubt it’s the upper bearing. A high pitched squeak (if that’s what it is) suggests dry metal to metal contact. There’s a shifter tube that runs down the inside of the column. Inside of that is the steering shaft. The shifter tube is supposed to have a lower bearing or nylon bushing that acts as...

    PST 2" Drop Spindle

    I have 2" drop spindles (from Fatman and the only thing I could find in 2008), .89" torsion bars, and stock bump stops. I have no complaints but probably would have followed what 72bluNblu has suggested if I'd been more knowledgeable about it at the time. I assumed then that lowering via the...

    Steering column upper bearing replacement

    Unplug the connector at the bottom of the column under the dash. You should get enough slack to pull it up. If you bend the connector wires at the connector perpendicular it will slide up inside and completely out. Once that's out of the way there are three phillip head screws to remove plus a...

    Rear ended moving around, need some tips.

    I remember one of the Mopar rags several years ago did an article in which the perches from MP came with holes larger than original. They took a small threaded pipe nipple (3/8"?), shoved it in the hole, welded it in, cut it flush, and then drilled out the opening to the correct size. Worked for...

    Steering Column removal

    1) Locate the roll pin at the end of the steering coupler (at the far end of the square thing at the bottom of your photo. Turn the wheel till visible and drive it out with a punch. 2) Disconect the linkage. 3) Remove the plastic column cover directly below the column inside the car. It's...

    which coupler?

    FWIW, (and yours or others' mileage may vary) but I had trouble with the Firm Feel style adapter in the first picture. The splines were too loose for my taste at the box. They sent me a second one to try but it had the same issue. Ultimately, the refunded my money. I ended up lengthening my...

    Replacing p/s box seal

    As mentioned, yes, it's accessible without disassembly of the box. The seal at the output side, not so easy to replace. FYI, if you don't already have the seal from RockAuto, you can pick it up at your local Napa.
