    2 Piece Billet Steering Wheel fixed for good.

    Hey all. Awhile back (years) :D I bought what I considered a fairly expensive steering wheel that is a two piece design. The problem started a few months back when the plastic vinyl covered section of the wheel started separating from the billet section of the wheel. The plastic is just too thin...

    8.25 ID?

    I looked all over the place and can't find a resource for determining an 8.25 housing year and type by the stampings on the case. No tag with it, but it has 27 splines and a 3.55 gear set. The spring perches are currently on top of the axles and have a 5/8 locating pin hole, so I'm guessing it...

    I need another tire shop

    The ONE thing I allow someone else to touch on my car and they can't seem to get it right. For the second time in a row now I have taken my car down to have tires changed and balanced and the first time I get out on the hiway with it and it shakes the hell out of the car and I have to take it...

    That annoying squawk

    Like a constipated duck when one of the rear wheels goes into a dip. I checked and made sure the nylon strips are there, and they are. Also all of the bushings in the rear were replaced with Poly but that sound has always been consistant so I figure it has to be the spring surfaces. Anyone...

    Update on new PST 1.03 Torsion bars.

    73 Swinger 318 with aluminum intake and 1 5/8 headers. Well, I finally got around to replacing my stock T bars with PST's factory clocked bars. It seems I got real lucky with the swap because all I had to do was back the tension off the adjusters, pull the retainer clips and lower the rear...

    Maybe a "Heads up" for PST?

    A few days ago I looked up some 103 torsion bars for my Dart so I could finally get rid of the mushy and easy to bottom out factory bars. Due to the fact that PST is one of our sponsors and sellers I wanted to shop local so to speak. First let me say that the guys at PST were very...

    Caught this bearing early.

    Awhile back I replaced all my front bushings with Poly from Just Suspension and was expecting to hear a little more road noise from it due to the harder material. One day not too long after that I heard a roaring wheel bearing from the right front and thought "Damn, I better get to that pretty...

    A little help to verify what I am thinking?

    A few days ago I took my car (73 Dart) out for a 160 mile highway trip and noticed that it tracked strangely. If I crossed a line of slightly uneven pavement it tended to veer that way and I would have to correct it back, or it would practically change lanes on it's own. (well not quite that...

    How to determine and adjust centerline thrust?

    Hey all, I have a question about centerline thrust. I know what centerline thrust is, and why it is important but how does one determine what the centerline thrust is, and when it is necessary to adjust it? I have a feeling mine is out of line a little due to a slight sideways hop of the...

    Question?

    If I replaced all of my rear bushings with energy suspension parts, and everything worked out great? Where would this post be best suited for? Sorry, Im a smartass at heart. :violent1:

    Subframe solutions (More about that)

    I have looked up the options and prices on them and was not impressed at all. The structure of the materials just seems to weak and kinda cheesy actually for what they charge for the stuff. I'm sure thier products make a difference, but not as solid as it could be. ESPECIALLY for the "bolt in...
