Does anyone know the taper of c-body pitman arm stud as compared to other common angles (7 an 10 degrees). And I know it's "larger" than a-body stuff, but I'm looking for actual numbers. I'm getting a measurement of ~18 degrees on my '71 pitman arm stud so I'm getting confused as well. I need to...

Does anybody know what the taper is (7 or 10 degree) for '71 c-body pitman/idler stud-to-center link connection? Asking before signing up to FCBO... Thanks

I have heard the PST solid bars are re-branded addcos (?). Did they improve on the mounting hardware then? And are their tubular pieces Hellwigs w/o hammertone finish?

Dave, 2 Q's: Is the 55917 what I see as mopardude318's setup? Would using the factory mounts or shortening your provided end links tuck that area closer to the strut rod and give more wheel clearance on the 55906? Thanks

convx4, the measurements you are looking for are about halfway down the page here: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=231939 Also see: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=50276&highlight=sway+bar+tab (Thanks to autoxcuda!!!)

I know I've heard to consider the shorter shock of a mid-90s nissan p/u 2wd when lowering the front any considerable amount, but is there a cross-over application suggestion when lowering the rear, too? I plan to flip my spring hangers...

This Addco bar looks to have a kink in it - I assume for tire/wheel clearance: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/aco-150/overview/year/1969/make/dodge/model/dart And summit shows two Hellwig styles: With kink: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hel-5906/overview/year/1969/make/dodge/model/dart...

The aftermarket starts to get a little confusing with their different methods of mounting and providing clearance. It's interesting though. (All in reference to my '69 here - sorry)... Judging at least from Summit's site, it looks as though the Addco is bent inward more (than Helwig's at...

I have a '69 Dart Custom stock k-member and non-sway lca (that I will add boxing plates to the undersides of and hopefully sway bar brackets). But not just looking to get info for my benefit. I think a collective thread would be good for all as a one-stop reference. At the very least, if it's...

Would like some input on the differences in mounting and shape over the years to document changes in front sway bar configurations. Include pics to illustrate, please! When addressing lca mounts, I would like to see measurements in anticipation of adding them to a non-sway lca. Also, discuss...

Well I have mine for sale if you know anybody that might be interested. (2x) Raybestos p/n 5765011 - 1 3/8" OD x 2 1/2" L outer shell, 7/16" ID x 3" L inner shell (rubber insulator same length), 7/16" D x 4" L NF bolt w/nut included. $25 shipped ($16.44 each on RA).

Steve, I wish I would have ran through my issues back in Feb. I have the bushings/bolts that you need(ed). They were, however, listed for a '69 Dart \6 as 'leaf spring bolt' and to be used in the shackle (??) at RA. They looked right to me without having dimensions listed so I ordered them. Two...

Cool. Thanks for easing my mind...:D

I have a 1969 Dart Custom \6. Front: Using the F/M-body spindles + '73-up UCA to do disc conversion. If I want to lower the front some using the torsion bar adjuster, how much can I go and keep acceptable alignment specs? These spindles are slightly taller than a-bodies, so am I already in the...

I called to speak with someone and get some real-time reaction instead of this email bs. Couldn't get a tech, only customer service. I said initially that I wanted to return a part and explained my issues. At first she seemed to know nothing about the part in particular or understand what I was...

I believe he was saying that they farmed out the work to some guy that can tig-weld CrMo and is associated with some NASCAR team (perhaps?). They are located north of Charlotte so that may hold water for now. While circle track cars do often have dedicated left and right suspension pieces, these...

These are from a reputable (as far as I have gathered) vendor of suspension parts. The tig welding at the ends of the tubing, which looks nice, should cause minimal distortion from cooling, right? These weren't that cheap ($200 so far), but I felt I could install bushings and ball joints and...

Story goes something like this: Researched upper a-arms for doing a BBP disc conversion on my '69 Dart and found tubular CroMo on eBay for not much more than what people wanted for a set of stock big ball-joint arms. Plus they claimed to improve the caster among other things. So I took the...

OK. Now I believe the answer to all four is "Firm Feel" though I think I could fab up some adjustable strut rods with some commonly available swaged Cr-Mo tubing in right lengths (advertised as 4-link tubing on eBay, I think), heim joints, and a few homemade brackets. Could also make solid tie...

I've been hearing about these mods that are being done, but not sure where to get them or which one: 1) Adjustable strut rods with heim joints) 2) Nylon LCA bushing (or is that what some call polyurethane?) 3) C-body tie-rods (model and years?) 4) Solid tie-rod sleeve. I think I read that...

That looks pretty nice but isn't that at full axle droop? What's it look like if you put the stands under the axles?

OMG. Chill the f*$% out. Maybe Mopar2 should elaborate on what he means by "stock wheels" exactly. Even you were just speculating on what he actually has. Stock could mean whatever Chrysler offered during the main muscle years that are easy to get hold of. With those stock 14" wheel widths...

Awhile back someone said 275/60R15 on their Valiant ('69?) with the 3/4" spring relocation kit. Do a quick search. Valiant may have different wheelwell size. Not sure. Plus that involves moving the spring pads in. I have a '69 Dart I plan to stuff fat tires under, too (all around). There's a '68...

Does anyone know if the spring plate/shock mount from a '73 B-body 8 1/4" rear will fit my '69 Dart when I convert to 8 1/4" rear? Just concerned about the angle (looking from the side) of the shock being correct. Thanks

Has anyone found 1.125" to be overkill for the majority of street driven a-bodies?

Yeah 5ths, Diplomats, and New Yorkers are definitely more abundant here. I got some tubular UCA by Just Suspension for a pretty good price @ 'the bay'. Here is a link to a good article about the concerns using those spindles: http://www.bigblockdart.com/techpages/spindles.shtml

Yeah it sure did have 15s on it which would look sweet all black with or w/o dog dish caps and RWL tires. Maybe I can find some cheap used tires to fit them and have basically two new sets for the rear until I step up to a 8 3/4 setup. Might they be too wide though? If I went looking, would BBP...

So I'm going with '87 Fifth Avenue (M body) spindles and calipers to do my disc conversion on my '69 Dart Custom /6. I bought new tires when I first got it and they are still almost new. Without having to buy new tires, are there 14" BBP rims off of something that will fit the 11" discs? Thanks

What do I have to do about the lower arms when switching? Just use the later ball joint and redrill the arm?

Two questions: I've seen a pair of 64-72 B-body/70-74 E-body upper a-arms advertised as working for an a-body disc brake conversion. Is this true/possible? I thought only 73-76 a-body upper a-arms would work on, say, a 69 a-body. And what models/years V8 K members will work in my 69 Dart to...
