I know you don't believe this, but your picture was exactly what I was looking for. I need to attach the front lower fender mount, and see if I have the bottom of the fender attached behind the wheel. Last night while I was jacking it up and trying to find a ride height that suited my eye, yet...

Yes sir, 4.5" backspace on a 17x8. The wheels are Cragar Soft 8's. So how much clearance do you have 72blu? You were one of the guys I was hoping to hear from.

Hey all been awhile since I've been trashing around. Rented a shop and got the car out of another Natures workshop, so I have been far too busy building my car. So my question and details. How much clearance should I have as a minimum between the front tires and the fender lips? The car is a 71...

Ok so as I was trying out a nee spindle and a stock late A upper control arm, Hotchkis gave me a call Friday. They still hadnt shipped the replacement on account of them discovering the problem. The fabricator jigged and welded the balljoint cup in upside down. Gonna be a couple of weeks for the...

Oh and yes thise are lower bumpstops. What did you use for taller than stock? Might be a good idea, this is going to be a near 3 season driver!

Thanks guys. I located a spindle next state over, good ole boy junkyard $45 shipped, so I bought it. If nothing else we can rule it out. On the other end of the chain, Hotchkis seems to believe based on my pics sent before and after, that I may have gotten a 2nd bad arm. They were sorting the...

Sorry you may have missed it in the original post, there are no shocks or t-bars in the car right now. Just weight and gravity. Sorry seems i didnt mention it here on fabo . No bars or shocks currently. My apologies

Thanks fellas, my mounts have been notched, and like was mentioned with the heim joints I have room for days. No the pin of the upper balljoint is torqueing over into the joint body and stops. I've got a stock arm coming to compare. I am actually seriously questioning my spindle. All the pics...

Good question, I have no idea, but the drivers side is right, so I'd guess no.

Talk about wanting to pull your hair out! So after a full weekend of screwing around. Lower control arm loosened up, strut rod sloppy loose, lower ball joint freed up, still no change. I pull off the dust boot on the hotchkis upper, reassembled, and started looking. The ball joint cup is...

Thank you 72blu. I put the drivers side together and got full droop so I do feel better about my combination. I also deduced that the rear heim joint on my upper isnt turned out as far as the others. Maybe a 16th of an inch. I also noticed that my rubber boot for the ubj on the drivers side was...

Additional pic

Help!!! I am pulling my hair out. My 71 Duster, the suspension doesnt droop all the way. In fact it is 1.5" off of the bumpstops. Parts list: Hotchkis late A tubular uppers Late B spindles. Late A lower ball joints. K781, 783 Hotchkis adjustable strut rods 71 lower control arms 71...

Ummmmm can someone smarter than me, fix that pic.

How about lowered Duster under construction. 71, 5.9 factory injection 833 od.

Done

Thanks

Subscribed for my near future reference. Great work!

Hello everyone, I would like some opinions, and real world assessments if you have them. My car is not on the road, in fact probably a year or better from it. Years ago I built a Mopar Action Green Brick style tie rod set up. I bought later c body rod ends and had a friend make a pair of...

If you check the flaming river site, under u joints they have a stainless 5/8-36 to 3/4 smooth joint for less than a $100. In addition to their longer mopar kit.

Thank you Jimmyray, that was what I wanted to see! Much appreciated.

I have the $100 cure for you....my unused tubular uppers with ball joints already in, and adjustable mounts.

Good advise...I do think you are right, and I intend to do way more pleasure, commuter miles than play miles on any autocross and racetrack environment! Another couple hundred bucks saved! thank you!

I crack myself up....hahahaha. Ok so that is the question! I do not intend to put headers on my Duster, so when I order my steering box from Firm Feel, do I order the fast ratio pitman and idler for a 12.5-1 ratio, or stick to the 16-1 ratio? Mind you I havent driven this car in years! Can you...

UGHHHHHH, you mean I have to weld on to my freshly powdercoated Kframe! My lower control arms, I get but my kframe? There goes $100!

Well isnt this a timely thread? I am going to order the entire hotchkis set up for my 71 Duster next week. Just sold my Harley it is time to get the car on the road! So how does the car ride? did you use the RCD shocks and Hotchkis t-bars also? I can make assumptions about ride quality having...

I dont have any 1st hand knowledge on glass springs...however I believe with the release of the c4 corvette, they were all glass from that point forward, and those guys dont complain about them! I am interested on Mr Wracks giving us full updates on his leafs, I would love the weight savings!

not to mention how much strength are you going to take out of that simple stamped kframe!!! What do you think holds the front end of the car together? Read around a little bit and you will see everyone reinforces and strengthens thier kframes! Sure every little bit adds up, but at what expense...
