    Rear Shackle specs

    I am replacing the bushings on the rear shackles on my '65 Barracuda. Does anyone know how much to tighten the bolts? Are there torque specs? They use nylon locking nuts, just don't want to over-tighten them. Thanks in advance for any help.

    best place to buy leaf springs?

    I got mine from McVeigh. Excellent service, great guy to talk to on the phone. The springs come ready to bolt in. I would use them again. http://mcveighstrucksprings.com/ http://stores.ebay.com/mcveighs-truck-springs

    Strut Rod Question

    I shaved a set down on a bench grinder until they matched the stock ones. If you center 2 of them on one of the sleeves that they slide over & then carefully grind, cut or sand them down until they are even at both ends with the sleeve you will have the 2 inner ones that you need.

    Anyone using an Addco Rear Sway bar?

    '64 Cuda, Thanks for the measurements. The links that Addco sent me were 5" long so I knew they were way too short. I understand that I will need to adjust them but I can't make them longer. I am going to mock everything up & track down some grade 8 bolts. I am going to lower the rear first &...

    Anyone using an Addco Rear Sway bar?

    All I want to know is how long the bolts & sleeves are that come with the Addco Rear Sway bar. It would appear that no one has used or plans on using one. I do not understand why this little piece of info is so hard to come by. A PST rep called me yesterday & would not tell me how long the links...

    Anyone using an Addco Rear Sway bar?

    Ok, I will try to keep my rant to a minimum. I bought a used Addco rear sway bar this summer. The link pins that came with it were bent & the bushings are old so I want to replace all of the hardware. I went to the Addco website & sent them an email just wanting to confirm the length of the link...

    I cleaned & reused all of the bolts & nuts except 1 that snapped. Just replaced it with a new bolt, lock washer & nut. They are really very easy to replace with minimal effort.

    Leaf Replacement Parts List

    There really isn't much to them. New shackles at the rear, the springs should have new bushings at the front already installed if they were new but never driven on. I replaced all 4 u-bolts. it is a good time to see about replacing the rear shocks if needed since you will be right there. A...

    8 1/4 shock plates

    I am doing the same exact thing to my '65 Barracuda. The 8 1/4 shock plates are 3" just like the 8 3/4. I was lucky enough to find some through FABO, actually got mine for free from cosgig. Just ahve to look around, check any local yards or Pull-a-Parts, lots of vehicles had 8 1/4 or 8 3/4. I...

    LCA sway bar tabs ?

    Some sway bar kits will come with other ways to mount them if you do not have tabs. Addco uses "L" brackets that mount using the lower shock bolt. You can buy a set of these: http://www.lightningforceperformance.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3596 or you can make some like on...

    Front Suspension kits?

    I have one at home that I just got. It comes with brackets to bolt on using the lower shock bolt. It is not the greatest design but it will work. I am going to get the bracket tacked in place once everything is bolted up. Check this link for some pics of homemade tabs...

    Front Suspension kits?

    100 people have viewed & this is all the info that is out there, seriously? Am I posting wrong? Is there a thread somewhere that I am missing? I really can't just throw money away & was looking for some first hand info with these kits.

    Front Suspension kits?

    I am not sure if the PST kit is worth almost $100 more just for cam bolts & tie rod sleeves unless PSC is not good quality. I really can't afford to find out after the fact. I also still need to figure out where I am getting my front & rear sway bars, I would like to do the front at the same...

    Front Suspension kits?

    It appears my thread has been hijacked. It is no matter I guess, my main question is in regards to quality & if anyone has used either kit. I really do not want to buy a kit for 1 application & then start buying other pieces from different cars if I already have them in the kit. These parts are...

    Front Suspension kits?

    I am unable to find a thread about this so I figured I would start one. I have a '65 Barracuda that I recently got a '73-'76 disc brake setup for & I want to get the swap started. I want to rebuild the whole front end while I have everything apart & off the car. I have been looking for front end...
