the LCA should have a pivot pin, which should get a new bushing. Also there's a bump stop. - Stu

So, One thing about these cars is the torsion bar suspension. From the rear of the sub frame, you'll see 2 metal bars going into the lower control arms. This takes the job of coil springs on a different brand of car. The steel bars flex with the suspension, and pushes down on the LCA (lower...

thanks for the tip. Never would have thought of that.

Hey thanks all for your help. As of now, I'm only 2 tie rod assemblies from being done with my suspension rebuild. My hemi O engine bay and black K frame/components looks great. Just installed my new "bigger" torsion bars last night. This week I intend on replacing the valve springs and...

go to mancini and buy the tools. They are so Friggin helpfull. If you're doing the LCA bushing, don't be an idiot like me and press the damn thing in the wrong way.. TIPS: 1. Don't torque down the LCA pivot until your Torsion bar is installed. 2. apply grease to the torsion bar hex ends...

should be 2 brackets on the K frame. unbolt them, unbolt the links attaching the sway bar to the lower control arm. you'll then need to cut away the old bushings, get new ones. and push em on. I got mine from Mancini. just get the dimension of the sway bar and they'll hook you up. - Stu

This is a heavy bulky unit. it's held to the KFrame by 3 bolts. I took mine out after I pulled my motor. the problem is going to be that it'll be hard from below because of the Y pipe and torsion bar and starter along with the tranny linkage if column shift car, so I'd imaging you'd have to...

Thanks guys. well air chisle no workie. havent used since '92. So, after smashing the pointer finger knuckle on my left hand, I finally chisled the bastard out with a big ball peen and a hand chisle. ugh. Did you guys press the new ones in, or use a vise or what????? Thanks, Stu

Hi all, I'm putting my new front end together and the thin metal sleeve from the lower control arm bushing is still in the control arm. I read on the net that the only way to get this puppy out is with chisles and a hammer. Ok, started that and aside from bending it in, I'm not making any...

got mine from Mancini. If you have a combo part 72 or earlier and part 73 and up, these guys know which questions to ask, and what to get you. It's all moog rubber btw.

So, in order to get the torsion bar out, you need to back out the adjuster bolts. these are the bolts sticking down from your lower control arms. They hold tension on the torsion bars. after you loosen them all the way off, you need a torsion bar removal tool. mount that to the tbar and...

So Here's what I have: LBP disks, sway bar through the K frame Idler nut on top inner tie rod nut facing back. Sounds like i have a hodge podge set up. Does anyone have any idea what I should order for a front end rebuild kit? If I get the 1972 kit will it interfere with any of my...

Thanks Guys, I do have LBP on the fronts, so I know that the disks are 73 and up. I appreciate the other help with the other components. Gonna order my front end parts tonight. about to paint my engine bay and I have a 360 and a worked 904 that I want to get in there asap. - Stu

hey all, I have a 72 dart, dropped the kframe and want to do the suspension rebuild. I was told that it has a 73 front end. How can I make sure. There is a sway bar. Do I measure the disk or what? thank you in advance. Stu

I just went through that process and just bought a rebuilt from Napa for 175 for my 72 swinger. Stu
