    Sway Bar and LCA Question

    I have an odd question. First, a little background - when I built my car, the guy that reconditioned my K-member swapped the original LCAs (with no sway bar tabs) for a set of LCAs that did have mounting tabs. It was not until later that I realized that he used LCAs that are 73 and up because...

    Tech Advice for Camber Adjustments

    So I finally bolted everything together on my 69 Dart for the front disc brake conversion. I have installed the PST tubular UCAs. I initially set them at the front mount all the way out and the rear all the way in. That leaves me with a few degrees of positive camber. The toe is good. I took the...

    Initial Suspension Settings for my Dart Before Alignment

    I am working through some different things after getting all the components installed for my disc brake conversion on my 69 Dart. I have factory LCAs and torsion bars (I’m just cruising not corner carving) but new PST tubular UCAs with big ball joints and the new steering arm and ball joints on...

    How Many Turns for the Torsion Bar?

    I am close to completing my disc brake swap on my 1969 Dodge Dart GT. I am currently running, and plan to keep, my 15x7 inch wheels (4 1/4" BS I believe) on the car with 215/65R15s. In order to give myself a little more room under the front for comfort and to accommodate some likely increase in...

    Power Steering is Very Sloppy

    I have noticed recently that the steering in my 69 Dart has gotten very sloppy lately. I originally had the factory power steering box rebuilt by Steer and Gear (maybe 5000 miles ago). It seems odd for it to be so sloppy (more so than normal). I have already worked on adjusting/tightening the...

    Pics Needed of Factory Sway Bar on 69 Dart

    Can anyone share some pictures of how the factory sway bar is mounted on your 69 Dart (or comparable year)? When my suspension guy rebuilt my front suspension, he swapped the original lower control arms out for an already redone set that had end link mounting tabs already welded on. However, I...

    Need Help With PST Tubular Sway Bar

    I need some help with the tubular sway bar that I received from PST. I bought this a couple of months ago, but my guy is just getting around to rebuilding the front end for me. He called me to tell me that he does not believe that the tubular sway bar that I was sent is meant to go on the...

    Torque Boxes and Subframe Connectors

    To stiffen up the frame on my car after all the crazy roof work, I am going to add some torque boxes and subframe connectors. Does anyone have any recommendations on what I need or want in terms of the torque boxes? I found these torque boxes on eBay, but I wasn't certain if this was the best...

    Replacing Leaf Springs

    I am looking to replace the leaf springs in my 69 Dart. I was thinking of just putting new OEM style springs in to maintain the stock stance of the car. If I go with OEM leaf springs, where is the best place (vendor/retailer) to get those parts? If I wanted to raise the rear up possibly an...

    Complete Front End Suspension Rebuild Kit

    I am about to pull the K-member out of my car to have it cleaned, prepped and painted, and while it is out we are going to install new bushings and recondition the front suspension. Unfortunately, I am not exactly clear what I need. I checked out PST online, but I think I need torsion bar...

    Steering Box Recommendations

    I was considering replacing the seals in the steering box on my 69 Dart because it is leaking bad from somewhere. After talking it over with a friend who owns several old and classic cars and reading some old threads on FABO, I am now considering just replacing the steering box in my car. I...

    Difference Between Saginaw and Federal Power Steering Pump

    While I am working on cleaning up the leak from the high pressure hose on my power steering pump, I was wondering how do I know which PS pump is on my car? Is there a noticeable (obvious) difference between the federal and the saginaw power steering pumps?
