i HOPE and PRAY i dont have a cracked frame!!!!

hey all, well i've been driving the dart around but the sound is getting worse and i dont want to potentially injure myself, my family or anyone else should something major happen. basically when i hit a bump - big one or small one - at any speed, there is very audible crunching sound coming...

maybe i just dont know enough but this seems crazy to me? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MOPAR-1970-E-BODY-440-6-HEMI-LEAF-SPRINGS-RESTORED_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2ea97393c7QQitemZ200411419591QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

i have heard bad power steering noises before but this is nasty. sounds metallic and whining. i realized i may not have completely bled the air from the new gearbox/pump - could this do it? the cars wheels turn pretty smoothly side to side but at about 1/4 - 1/2 turn there is nasty sound...

i have them market front to rear and drivers/pass. all from the 76 V8 going into the 67 car. just spent 3 hours between having car jacked up/not jacked up, control arms under pressure/no pressure. pulled the shocks / left the shocks in. and all combinations of these and still cannot get the...

i will be bringing the car for an alignment when done but in the meantime what is the procedure to get the tie rods and sleeves set up correctly? i have all 4 ends showing about 7 threads. but now my 15 inch wheels rub on the fenders. may not be related but worth asking anyway.

well i am nothing if not persistent. got the new pow steer box in headers on, tie rods and everything clear, pittman arm on, idler arm (correct one) on. everything torqued up right. did my best to get all tie rod connectoprs the same but for some reason the 15 inch wheels rub but i'll deal...

i installed the new steering box and the pitman arm (1976 model). torqued the nut (with split washer) to 180 ft lbs. there is about an inch between the top of the pitman arm (on the shaft end) to the bottom of the steering box. my 67 arm has a bit less space than this meaning it looks like...

can anyone tell me if the actual power steering gear box is the same for a 67 dart GT 225 /6 as a 76 dart Swinger 318? the bolt holes line up and the steering col seems to fit (at least temporarily). the pitman arms on the boxes are shaped differently. my 67 pow steer gear box is good but...

FINALLY got the headers, starter and power steering box all in and all bolts in. no idea how to torque the poer steering box nuts to spec as i can barely get a wrench on them nevermind a tq wrench so i just whomped on em as best i could. if those things loosen and somehow manage to fall...

well i assumed that everything on the 76 swinger would be bad in the suspension dept. well i power washed the k frame AFTER ordering the graphite kit from performance suspension and everything looks like its been replaced fairly recently. no movement in ball joints at all and all the boots on...

hi all i am doing the /6 to 318 swap on my 67 GT with the whole V* k frame and all its components. ordered the kit from perf suspension for ball joints tie rods etc. my newest question is: the power steering setup on my 67 GT works fine but the one on the 76 swinger kframe does not. i...

ordered the complete bushing kit from performance suspension components. i was looking at pst as well but for $35 more (290 total) i got a few more parts. plus free shipping. i have read good reviews of both companies so hopefully made a wise choice. new rotors are next followed by sway...

well i am trying to get a "parts" list together so that when i get around to doing my 318 swap in the /6, i can upgrade all the major components at once. i saw jc whitney has some 4 leaf springs on sale for 65 each. i also have a coupon for 20% off plus free shipping so i could have both...

well i have the 76 parted and gone to Joe for his shriners build. so as he was looking the 76 over befor ehe left he said he thinks the rear axle i have is a Dana 60. i'll snap some pics but i have no idea. so assuming it is NOT a D60, and it is the stock unit for the 318 equipped 76...

well i got the engine dropped in the 76 so i am pretty happy. still need to get the torsion bars completely out but i'll work on that. so my plan is to replace all the bushings, etc brake pads, and rotors with new stuff before doing the /6 to V8 swap. i was wondering if you thought it would...

well i searched online and found that someone had used some scrap steel to make a very simple tool to get the torsion bars off. basically it is just a l-shaped bracket with 4 holes drilled. take 2 exhaust clamps and put them over the t-bar. put the plate under the t-bar and tighten down. now...

well i am just about to drop the whole k frame with engine and trans attached but i want to remove the driveshaft first. i undid the 4 bolts at the rear u-joint and removed the 2 plates. i removed the trans crossmember. no matter what i do i cannot get the driveshaft to drop out. is there a...

well i ordered up some leaf spring helpers just to see if something inexpensive would help with the rear suspension. as the c-clamps that hold the springs together are gone on both sides, i thought this might help. so i pulled the wheels off, added the leaf spring helpers and new gas shocks...

hello again everyone well i was looking at the rear suspension setup the other day after i ordered my shocks. i noticed that the rear leafs are looking more like a sine wave than a nice semi-elliptical shape. not a good thing i'd imagine. so i am on the hunt for some new leaf springs. jc...

well loving the dart except that tghe drivers side rear shock just gave out looking to replace them but would like to know what length of shock to get to raise the rear end up a bit? not a foot or anything just a bit to give the car a little rake angle. i do have a 2 inch lift kit i could use...
