    TRACTION BARS

I have a set I bought from Napa in the 80s, i was going to clean them up, and put the back on my car jus for the look, and if...

    Torsion bar won't come out.

    push the bar through the rear mounting sleeve, and just get it to start on the LCA sleeve, place a C clamp across the LCA and the torsion bar adjuster, now when you tighten the clamp you rotate the bar. Now you can watch the rear bar sleeve, and tighten the clamp to line the bar up. They are...

    Installing torsion bars- shouldn't this be the easy part?

    With the upper ball joint and shock loose use a c clamp between the LCA and tensioner arm to rotate the torsion bar into position. you can watch the back mount to see when you are lined up, use your mallet to drive the bar into place, this has worked for me in the past.

    SMOOTHER RIDE?

    Loosened all bolts and retightened, turned torsion bars up a little. Does not bottom out anymore, a lot better ride. Will still replace shocks and tires, but ride is a lot better now that I am on the suspension. Thanks for all the comments and help.

    SMOOTHER RIDE?

    Ok, new tires, and shocks. These were my next 2 things to change. Would a stock shock be good or are there better shocks out there for a smooth ride?

    SMOOTHER RIDE?

    I will loosen the front end and retighten with a load on the suspension. Tires are 14" E7014 bias ply tires. I know they are not the best for the ride, but it should not be this rough a ride. It moves freely when I push up and down on the car. Will new shocks make a big difference in the ride...

Pull the colum from the car put it in a vise and pull the bottom of the shaft out far enough to line up the two holes in the center of the shaft. once the two holes are lined up, you can insert a brass pin through the two holes. In case of an accident the brass pin will...

    Steering column removal?

    instead of welding, I would drill two small holes and insert brass pins or tacks. That way you have the length you need, and it still collapses as intended.

    Front Frame Rail Rot

    It Looks To Me That You Need To Slow Your Wire Speed Down. Or Increase Your Voltage. The Weld Probobaly Penetrated. But To Acheive The Look You Want You Need A Little More Heat Or Less Wire.

    Shackle bracket

    I Had The Same Problem. What I Did Was Cut The All The Rust Out, Cut A Few Pieces Of Metal And Built A Box Around The Whole Frame Where The Shackle Mount Mounts. Use The Shackle Mount As A Template To Drill The Two Holes To Bolt To Frame. If You Have A Welder And A Little Welding Ability You Can...
