    Confusion with steering column lower bearing

    I noticed the factory lower bearing was toast on my 68 Barracuda floor shift column so I bought one of the bearings from 72blunblu's how to article. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/ams/how-to-replace-your-lower-column-bearing-better-and-cheaper.66/ The column basically has the main...

    Borgeson steering box - does the column need to be cut?

    I bought this kit from Jegs a while back and just did a test fit. This is a 68 Barracuda with a power steering floor shift column. https://www.jegs.com/i/Borgeson/153/999065/10002/-1 The column installs into the coupler without the shaft needing to be cut but I always thought they needed to be...

    Stuck strut rod

    I can't seem to get the nut off the front of the strut rod on the passenger side of my Duster. I've tried penetrating fluid, heat, hitting with a hammer etc and nothing seems to work. I put two nuts on the other side of the strut rod to hold it tight and tried getting the nut off the front and...

    67 Cuda w/BBP discs suspension kit

    I'm doing a 73+ A body BBP disc conversion on my 67 Barracuda. I know the ball joints are going to be bigger for sure. Are the upper control arm bushings any different? Also will I need a different lower ball joint? I'm assuming the rest of the suspension pieces will stay true to the 67...

    Something has to be loose - how do I check?

    I've got a 71 Duster with manual steering. I rebuilt the suspension about 5 years ago and everything was fine. Lately I've been hearing a fairly loud knocking sound when making right hand turns. I thought it was the wheel bearings, so I changed those and it didn't help anything. I've been under...

    Manual steering box knock

    I've been hearing a strange knocking sound in the front end when making right hand turns so I went ahead and changed inner and outer bearings. That didn't do anything so I jacked the car up and had someone turn the wheel back and forth to see if there were any loose suspension parts. Nothing is...

    No toe in/out adjustability after suspension rebuild

    I'm in the process of rebuilding the suspension on a 67 Valiant and in the process I also converted from power to manual steering. I got most everything back together and I'm in the middle of adjusting the toe in and out to get it decent enough to drive down to alignment shop. I have the...

    Pitman arm stuck to steering gear

    Hey guy's I bought a manual steering box from a member on another site and the pitman arm splines are rusted to the splines on the steering box. I soaked it all day with PB Blaster and I can't get the thing to budge with a puller. I cranked on the puller so hard that it started to press into the...

    Vibration at 75mph. Bad hub?

    I can't seem to get my car to go past 75mph (not that its really necessary) anymore without a pretty decent vibration. I've been noticing a weird sound when I take sharp right hand turns. Almost like something is loose in the suspension. Sounds like a light clunking sound. I jacked the car up...

    I messed up my lower control arm bushings huh?

    I just spent half the day cutting the outer sleeve of the old bushings out of the lower control arms. Then I pressed the bushings into the control arms. After that I remembered this page saying you'll ruin them by doing them that way because you can't just press the pivot shaft in there without...

    67 Valiant power steering - what are my options?

    I'm getting a 67 Valiant slant six car ready to be daily driven by my girlfriend and the power steering is just ridiculously sensitive. I think it's unsafe to have her drive the car like this so I'm trying to figure out my options here. I was searching through threads and people have linked to...

    67 Valiant power steering way too touchy

    I got my girlfriend a 67 Valiant a while back and were just getting it on the road. I'm driving it around and the alignment feels ok but the power steering is crazy touchy. It's almost hard to drive in a straight line because you have to keep the wheel so still. Kinda feels like bumper car...

    What torsion bars are these?

    I just pulled a couple bars out for a slant 6, A/C, 4 door 73 Valiant. One reads 891L and the other is 892R. Is the 891 a slant bar with the 892 being a 340 bar? Thanks.
