    Need Some Yoke Education Please

    My car came as a roller, so I've been chasing a lot of miscellaneous items. I ordered a new U joint strap and bolt kit for my rear (7260), which is an 8.25 out of a 74 or so Duster. I want to chase the threads on the yoke while waiting for the kit to arrive. Can anyone tell me what size the...

    Can someone shoot me straight on an idler arm question?

    Appreciate any help fellas. I pulled the 67 k frame out of my barracuda. I replaced it with a 73-76 out of a 360 Duster. It came with lower control arms and factory sway bar. My understanding is since I'm keeping my 67 steering box and pitman, the drag link from the 67 must be retained. I...

    Eccentric Cam Bolt Position

    The last time I found an A body at the U-pullit it had the eccentric bolts toward the front of both control arm bushings (drivers side). I thought as a rule the cams went to the inside near the shock and the washer and nut always went to the outside of the bushing. My suspension is all apart...

    K frame relationship to steering box

    Sorry guys I looked for the answer to this and keep coming up empty. I've read you can use either the 67-72 V8 K frame or the 73-76, provided you use the pitman, idler arm, and center link from the same option you choose. I'm going 340 and want to ditch my 67 /6 frame. I have a 73-76 V8 frame...

    8 1/4 Install Questions

    I appreciate any guidance you can give. The 7 1/4 has been removed and the 8 1/4 installed with new u-bolts, thick washers, and barrel nuts. I have 2 questions (well, maybe 3 or 4). In trying to remove the shocks the top nuts are both well frozen. Can I use my 36” breaker bar or is there a...

    Have a 67 with a slant K. Have Schumacher mounts to put in a 340. I’m converting from manual to power steering. Found a power column same year, and now my local U pull it has a 73 valiant With power steering and drum brakes. If I use the box from the 73, what hurdles will I have to jump? I...

    Power Steering setup - what tools do I need?

    So I'm visiting relatives for a brief vacation and the local Upullit has a 70 Fury with what looks to be a small block from the picture on their website. I'm gonna try to get the power steering setup off of it, but of course I brought no tools with me on vacation. A rummage through my cousins...

    Drag Link - SL6 vs V8

    In going over many engine swap threads, I don't see any that mention needing to swap the slant 6 drag link for a V8 one, not for 67 and above anyway. Yet I see drag links for sale that are being marketed as V8 links. Is this a necessary change for 67-76 cars, or is this one of those parts...

    Who sells ball joint adapter sleeves?

    Dr. Diff is out of stock on the sleeves that allow you to use big ball joints on 63-72 small joint upper control arms. Does anyone know of another source? Maybe it's possible folks decided that was too dangerous or someone had a bad experience. I didn't see any obvious problem with the idea...

    Spindle and Pad Issue - Need Some Help

Any help you brothers can provide will be appreciated. The outboard pad seems to fit fine. The inboard pad is way too big to fit. The pads are...

    Need some help guys. I cleaned up my control arms and started to press in new bushings and ball joints. One of the rings where the bushing goes through is way out of whack and askew. If I put the bushing in, its not straight and pointing toward the other bushing. I assume it won't mount to...

    Bushing Press Question

    Hey guys, quick question on pressing in control arm bushings. Has anyone used the Harbor Freight 12 or 20 ton to do upper bushings. I bought the 6 ton bench model, and couldn't get the control arm in position to where it would work. The side of the arm I wasn't pressing kept hitting the...

    Ready to install new UCA bushings...got the old ones out with the homemade pipe and allthread tool (awesome!), new ball joint, scrape and paint. The only issue left is how do I know when the new bushing has been driven in enough. The new bushings don't have any marks that would indicate the...

    Whats the best way to remove upper ball joints?

    Need some advice fellas. Have 73 upper control arms for the disk swap in my 67. I have the balljoint socket and a nice breaker bar. Problem is the control arm doesn't fit real good in my small vice. I wanna do it right cause I've heard you can bend the arm if you put too much force on it. Can...

    Sway Bar, K-Frame, Motor Mount Question

    I have a 73-76 V8 K-frame to install my 340 in my now slant six 6 cuda, and the drivers side bracket from a 75 360 Duster. Two questions: First, for the passengers side, will any spool motor mount bracket do, or does it have to be from a 73-76 V8 A-body? My local Upullit has a ton of rear...

    When are we gonna consolidate our expertise?

    I recently read an awesome post in regard to Cherokee rear ends, which included the differences between the 8 1/4, Dana 35, and Dana 44. It was posted by someone in the know, and he even posted what gear sets were available in jeeps for each of these rears. He did this in response to the...

    Does anyone have experience with LCA stiffening plates?

    I'm considering a pair of those stiffening plates that get welded onto the bottom of the lower control arm. Does anyone have experience with them? At $25 on ebay, it seems like a straightforward mission. Also, I'd appreciate any advice on what you may have done or seen done to stiffen up the...

    Found an 88 Gran Fury cop car

    Hey guys, need some education. My local U pull it junkyard just got in an 88 Gran Fury unmarked police car, hit in the right rear end. I first noticed the cop wheels when passing by, and then looked inside to see the plain upholstery. It only has 57,000 miles. I popped the hood, and it looks...
