Just wondering, what the difference there is, between a & b body springs? Reason being, when I got my 72 Swinger, the guy gave me a 1970 B body 8 3/4 and some brand new springs. The 8 3/4 went in fine, after I put some new perches, in the correct spot I had a terrible time getting the springs...

A friend of mine, uses air shocks, to help with tire clearance. He asked me if they alter the pinion angle. I had no idea, so thought I'd check here. He has a 73 Duster. Thanks

Yes, that helped. Now, I just have to figure out how to get the locking pins out and stop the collar from moving. Thanks

Yes. But is a pain in the a$$. Would just wather remove it Oh. This is a 72 Dart Swinger.

I removed the inner shift tube, from my steering column. I went from column shift to floor shift. Now, I'm having problems with the shift collar, where the shift lever used to be. If it is not positioned just right, I can't turn my ignition key. Can I just remove the collar, where the shift...

Well, I figured it out. Took a good look at the shifter tube. Found two spot welds. (See picture) Drilled them out and WD-40d the tube. Started tapping the lower shift lever and low and behold, it slid off. Cleaned up the inside of the outer tube with a wire wheel and the above bearing went...

Ok, I have the column out of my 72 Dart. And have removed the snap ring. I don't see how I can pull the shaft out from the coupler end, seeing how it's about a foot up in the shift tube. Suggestions? Thanks

Well,it looks like there's no easy way to do this. Guess I'll have to take the column out. Thanks, everyone, for your help.

Where exactly did you cut it? I just looked at the manual and MAN!, removing the whole column is a lot of work. Thanks

The pic is not the column in my 72 Dart. It's just an example pic. Reason for this, is the rear header tube is so close to the steering column, that it melts the plastic lower bearing. And a $80-$90, I rather spend $7-$8 on the bearing pictured above

Come on. There has to be someone on here that can tell me how to remove the shifter tube, from the steering column. Thanks

I'm trying to do is use the bearing pictured below instead of the plastic one. $8 verses $80-$90. This is a 72 Dart Swinger. The picture was just an example, not the actual column in my rig.

How do you remove the shift lever in the picture. Thanks

Thanks for the info. And you were correct in questioning the placement of the heim/outer tie rod end. I have them installed upside down. Here's a pic from the AlterK manual. Guess I know the first thing I do in the morning. I'm 68 and it's taken me about 4 1/2 years to get to this point...

So I'll have to take the tie rods off and then unscrew that coupler from the threaded rod. Correct? I noticed that when I turn it, the threaded rod turns also. Is it suppose to do that? Is this going to have to be repeated on the drivers side also? What ya think, 1/2", 3/4"? Sorry for all the...

This is the rack & pinion that came with the AlterK. Below you will find a pic of what I'm talking about.

Never doing this before. What I'm asking is, how do I adjust the tie rods. I know there is a coupler between the tie rod and the threaded rod coming from the rack and pinion. One has right hand threads and the other left hand threads. Is this what I turn? I just looked at both tie rods and...

Anyone using Flaming river rack and pinion? Been searching, on line, for info on how to set toe in. Heres what I'm dealing with. I have the driver's side tire pointing straight forward. The passanger side is pointing about 1/2" to 3/4" out. So, trying to figure out how to get them to both...

Tried all your suggestion. None worked. So, I used a nut cracker and got the nut off. Chased the threads with a die. Bought another nut. It went right on. Thanks for all your help.

Trying to torque down the spindle to the lower controle arm. The nut got a few threads below the cotter pin hole and then the stud started to spin. Now I can't tighten or loosen the nut. I tried the seat the stud with a piece of wood and a hammer. Still spins. Any suggestions? Thanks

Ok. How do I remove the whole column from the inside? My manual only shows how to remove the steering wheel. Thanks

Trying to figure out how the remove the intermediate tube, shift lever, etc. I need to install a bushing, that has a 2' diameter, so my steering column is supported. How do I go about getting that stuff off? Thanks for any help.

Does everyone use thrust bearings, on their coil overs? Just wondering if I should order a kit. Thanks

While checking on new upper control arm cam bolts, I noticed there were two differant ones. One that said, + - 2 1/2 degrees and another that was + - 1 1/8 degree. Which is the correct one? Why the differance? Going on a 72 Swinger. Thanks Tony

Thanks, everyone. That's good news. I'm installing an Alter-K. So, wont be needing the coupler.

Once I got the torsion bars out, it went kinda easy. A friend, that is helping me, had a torsion bar removal tool. Man! That made that job easy. Only problem was, as we lowered it and pulled it slowly forward, the below pictured shaft came with it. Had the pin out of the coupler, but the...

Didn't see the torsion bars anywhere in the pictures.

Dartnut. So, you're saying I need to take the steering column out? If the pin is out of the coupler, wont the steering box just slide off, as you lower the K-frame and slide it forward?

I'm installing an Alter-K. Not reusing anything. I'm just trying to follow RMS's direction,on dropping it all at once. The engine and tranny are out.
