    Upper Ball Joint came out while driving

    Yep!! This is probably (most likely) why they came loose, you "stripped" the streads, time for another control arm or arms if you did both sides that way, if you had the new ball joints in your hand, you could have seen they were threaded, this should have given you a clue right there, then if...

    Traction Bars?

    I really don't mind "tail draggers", lifting the car in the *** just causes other issues like weight transfer issues, steering problems ( needing re-allignments), the way my car is sitting (fairly level), if i can just plant those tires some & get the front to jump up on the launch, its in the...

    Traction Bars?

    -3*, some say thats not enough, but they are stock springs, now i can see SS springs needing more, but i'm sure thats not the "main" issue at this point, its that theres too much rap up & the tires aren't planting do to theres no resistance on the springs or down force causeing the tires too...

    Traction Bars?

    Thanks, did you go with the 002/003s, what else did you need for the install, like shackles/front eye bracket? What shocks are you running up front? Those are my home made SFCs!!

    Traction Bars?

    Ok then, i'll clamp up these springs 1st., i already installed longer shocks, its just not planting the tires well. Rumble, you did state in your 1st. reply that a bud of yours is going 9.80s with 6 cyl. springs AND T-Bars, then you said he has no snubber, no T-Bars & lots of rubber & away he...

    Traction Bars?

    I'm sure some of you are laughing about this, but it has been proven that they do/will work, I'm looking at the Lakewoods, but the ones for the Mopars are 197.00 Yikes, just wondering if the Universal ones will work, is anyone running these bars? I'm wanting to do things on the cheap, some love...

    poor man subframe connecters duster/demon

    I just made my 1st. set, was out about 18.00 in steel, i went with 1x2" rect. with .129" thickness (11 gauge), with plates on both ends, i'll be makeing a DS loop soon, haveing a good welder is such a plus & in the long run pays off big time, i'll be out about 30.00 total for loop & SFCs, makes...

    Pinion angle/spring clamping?

    This is what i'm looking to do, nothing fancy but affective, i'm almost positive my car will never see those kinds of 60fts., so if its working for you, it should work for me, are you running any special shocks up front like CE 90/10s?

    Pinion angle/spring clamping?

    I here this alot too, that its in relation to the tail shaft, but then i've ask chassis builders, most say NO its not, you 1st. need to set your transmissions tail shaft at 0, you don't want the T shaft high or low from 0 angle, nothing of coarse is ritten in stone, there is some movement at the...

    Pinion angle/spring clamping?

    The pinion is at 0 too the ground, the driveshaft maybe angleing upward 1 deg., but know more, so if anything, i'm at -1, still not good.

    Pinion angle/spring clamping?

    Thats how i see it, you basically are looking for a V, if i can get the pinion pointing around -3 (towards the ground) or there abouts thats what i'm after, then the rear of the driveshaft will angle up from there to the tail shaft creating a V from those 2.

    Pinion angle/spring clamping?

    You will here all kinds of answers on how to set pinion angle, from it being in relation to the transmission tail shaft, or relation to the driveshaft, mine is pretty much at a straight line.

    Pinion angle/spring clamping?

    I'm starting to do something with the rear on my 71 dart, i measured the pinion angle, its sitting around 0*, what i'm wanting to do is set it around -3*, then clamp the front section of the springs in 2 areas on each side, should i take out the "straps" on the back section of the springs or...
