Gotcha thanks, i put some lucas white lithium grease in the bearing

lol you had me worried for a second, how much play is allowable with that bearing installed? Its enough to see but not enough to measure, also does that bearing need greased?

when i install the turn signal housing with that bearing there is no play, maybe a fraction

are you referring to the bearing thats under the snap ring? I meant is it normal for the shaft to move with the turn signal housing and bearing off

where is the top support bearing?

Ok so waiting on brake parts i got the steering wheel off and sure enough these two bolts were loose. took them out one at a time and put a dab of blue loc-tite on the threads. Do those bolts hold anything on the backside? Reason i ask is because i pulled one at a time out, i didnt hear...

Yeah cant see in there now, i will have to pick up a steering wheel puller to pull the tuff wheel adapter off so i can see in there

no i have not, correct 71 demon but i dont remember what year column it is. Where are they located?

Hey all so i have a manual column with the steering wheel adapter and a tuff wheel. There is movement side to side but not up and down or in and out. The main part of the column is tight and does not move, the side to side movement is at the piece that the ignition switch and turn signal is in...

really, i didnt have a issue at all when i ran the kybs, the ride was decent too, cant remember which torsion bars im running though

i noticed a big difference going to the hotchkiss shocks, although kybs for someone on a budget are fine

I had the kyb gas a just shocks before i upgraded to the hotchkiss shocks and they worked fine.

Without tubing it the widest tire that will fit comfortably is a 275. All depends on offset

Only reason i went the hellwig route is cause i didnt want to permanetely weld the brakets to the k member, otherwise i would of went the hotchkis route, glad it worked out for you!

Just got back from our local car show, man i can tell a vast improvement with the larger bar. Before with the 7/8 your body would lean in tight corners, now there is some slight body movement but you feel more planted in the seat, especially since i have a split bench you can deff tell the...

I mean is it a once a year thing? Im sure it depends on driving style too and mileage but that grease they give you is pretty badass, had to wash my hands with dawn 4 or 5 times to get it off lol

Plenty of clerance for the core support brace

Plenty of clerance for the core support brace

Heres the finished product. Still have to freshen up and install the core support brace, will let you know how it handles in the next few days

Got it finished up, the end links were a little bit of a pain but got em. I would advise anyone installing one to measure from a fixed point on both sides to a point on the sway bar links to ensure both sides are in the same position, also tighten each side gradually to help ensure the sway bar...

Hey guys finally got the hellwig 1-1/8 bar today, man lol what the hell is wrong with shipping these days? Was coming from summit warehouse in Georgia to Tennessee. Left Georgia, went to Kansas, then to Tennessee, way to go fedex! Plus one end of the bar was sticking out of the box about 2”...

Heres the brackets, havent gotten the bar up yet, you will have to drill out the k member with a 3/8 drill bit, the bolts provided are 3/8 and almost go through the factory holes. Driver side bracket Pass side bracket Heres the factory 7/8 bar vs the hellwig 1-1/8 bar I weighed them...

Ehhhhh hardware looks cheap. I ordered a hellwig 1-1/8 bar from summit, supposed to be here this afternoon. Ill see if i can get some pics of the hardware and install. From what ive researched it seems the hellwig is the most popular.

The way the tires are wore indicates worn out suspension components which im sure you already know lol, it would have wore the tires that way regardless of tread pattern however it tends to be more pronounced with aggressive tread tires

Is a light coat of grease needed on the polyurethane bushings? I dont think the hellwig sway bar bushings are greasable

Thanks all for your opinions. I will see how the hellwig bar fits. Hopefully it will exceed my expectations.

Thats what i was figuring, even if the 1-1/8 solid bar weighs 5 lbs more than my current 7/8 bar it wont be noticed, i could stand to loose a few pounds myslef lol

Pulled the trigger on the hellwig 5906 1-1/8 solid sway bar, i got to thinking about it and my current 7/8 sway bar is solid, so i cant foresee the 1-1/8 solid bar weighing much more than the 7/8. Was thinking about firm feel but why pay $100 more for the same size solid bar

So im having a hard time understanding, i found a sway bar spring rate calculator and assuming all lengths are the same, a 1-1/8 solid bar will be 1.75 times stiffer than a 7/8 solid bar. And the 1-1/4 tubular bar at .25” wall thickness (guess) will only be 1.5 times stiffer. Is this true? But...
