I think I agree with you then. I hadn't put it all together like that as you just summed it up, but yeah, I think I'd take the same position you are taking in this case, armed with this knowledge. ~Bill

Myself, I have been to shops of varying quality over the years. I do what I can myself, but as I get older and seem to have less and less time for the hobby I do less and less myself on the car/s. I have an awful lot of good things to say about most shops I've gone to, some more than others...

Is everything made in China now? Do they make anything in the western hemisphere anymore? Do they even make anything in Japan anymore?

Thanks for that information. Does that mean that you asked this manufacturer yourself?

Well thanks again ... this is probably the most detailed information I have yet gotten on this subject. And no, I shant be autocrossing the Duster any time soon ... though I might try a few donuts in the odd vacant parking lot. Isn't it strange how much controversy there is over so many of...

I remember reading too that he does not seem too fond of "most" of these coil over units. I just took a look both though, and granted a quick look-see via my browser is not particularly conclusive, but the XV unit does appear to be more substantial. One nice thing about these units is that -...

Guys I appreciate your council and I certainly want to believe you are right ... it'd be a heck of a lot easier for me. But if this rumor is just a rumor, then who started it ... Rick E? Because to this day he says he doesn't like em.

I am not a drag racer - this is a street car and I like a car that goes around corners at least as well as one that goes straight ... it's set up to do that and I don't want to loose an axle one day.

I would probably do that, but I don't work on my car very often ... hey, I hardly even have time to drive it ... so if I bought the press I'd probably use it like twice in my lifetime. I do work on the car - it's not that I never do any work on it - it's just that the stuff I do has to be done...

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but no I have no intension of doing it for the one reason mentioned. Note - I am not afraid of the job, I just have no place to do the job and keep the car safe overnight when it's not finished. And no, I have no press. And I do understand the other replies...

Okay thanks, but short of calling R&P - which I really can't do right now - what would you think my chances are of getting this done, as per my prev questions?

No I really can't do this at home, as I said, because I have no secure place to keep the car during the time the axles are out. So equipment aside, that's not really what I am asking. I appreciate you answers, but what I want to know is: 1. In your opinions, as technicians, should I expect...

Anyone here offer recommendation for re-installing orig equip Timken rear wheel tapered roller bearings in an 8.75" that has been "upgraded" to 4.5" bolt pattern and "Green" ball bearings? Should I expect a decent shop to "know" how to do this? First off, I have a '71 factory service manual...

Thank you sir.

Thanks. When you say remove the vent, you mean - duh - taking it off the car and soaking it, right ... not just loosening it? Well it's about time to replace the brake fluid too anyway.

My axle lube is at the proper level, but it's been in there for I have no idea how long, and one thing troubles me some - the last time I went to check the level, cold, when I took the plug out it was under a very slight amount of pressure, and I felt a wee bit of air escape from it. So I...

Hi folks, I'd like to add in my 2-cents if I may. I think that comments on both 'sides of these issues' have relevant points. Indeed, when someone asks, for examples: "Will a big-block 1969 Dart handle well", or "Will a 440 in my '70 Duster run fast", I think it is fair for someone to ask...

... Orig 340 car.

Thanks, but the site does not list anything for the 8.75 ...

Actually, as of today I think, the rate is much more favorable for you folks ... 100.00 CAD = 88.9546 USD I'm not a mechanic, but it is easy for me to visualize why a tappered roller would work better.

Thing is, All I can find is A7LK. For example, I checked the AutoZone site (there a number of them near me) and they list both A7LK and A7Rk, but they only stock the former. Same with every site I check. Now, I can't think why you'd need a left and a right (what could be the difference?), but...

Hi folk, My 8.75 is growling at me and if I find out the rear wheel bearings need replacement I will need to decide what to replace them with. I currently have the sealed Green ball bearings - only 1->2 K miles on them actually. I've heard some say they are not recommended for street use...
