    Right vs Left Leaf Springs

    I'm using leaf springs from a 1973 340 Duster, thinking R & L are different, wondering how I tell them apart. I do know if there's more springs on one side, the side with more goes to the right. Anything else I should know? Just trying to get a jump on this before I go crawling around under...

    Value of rebuilt front suspension?

    I've completely rebuilt my 73 k member, control arms and struts. New ball joints, moog offset bushings, LCA bushings, and strut bushings. Everything was sandblasted. K welded up with skid plate and tow hook. LCAs tightened and reinforced. 2 coats of POR 15. I also have a rebuilt steering box...

    Measuring for diff width (or backspace)

    I've made my brain hurt, sorting out the measurements for my differential width, along with wheel and tire combo. I'm mini-tubbing my 69 Dart so the 14.5" of space between the 1/4 panel lip and the frame is available. I caught myself making an error that could cause a major headache and thought...

    Measurement for sway bar bracket holes?

    Hi. I'm missing the brackets that bolt to the K member and plan to make a set since they are simple. I just need the measurement to locate the holes that mount the U to the bracket. One measurement from either of the bolts through the K member to one of the bolts that mounts the U (center to...

    How much travel do leaf springs need?

    I'm planning to lower a 69 Dart but keep the original suspension. I'd like it to be capable for autocross. I'd also like to get it as low as I can. Up front I'll use 1" or larger torsion bars, maybe offset bushings if needed for alignment. I'm not sure how much travel leaf springs require. I'm...

    Power steering from 73 Duster into 69 Dart?

    I plan to use the 73 K member, suspension, and rebuilt power steering box in a 69 Dart with auto shift column. I'll be installing a four speed. Wondering if the 73 steering column will bolt in. Of course it has the key on it and 69 has it on the dash. Maybe I can remove the key components...

    20s for the Demon - how low can I go? (big wheel haters don't look)

    This is after cutting out the entire wheelwell, with a borrowed 275/45/20 sitting as low as the inner structure where the well seam was cut away will allow. Sorry about giving everyone the finger :) More details are in my thread for the build...

    Relocate springs and keep it low?

    I want to run about a 295 x 28" tire on my Demon clone and keep the tire tucked inside the fender, fairly low, say a couple inches of rubber above the fender. I'm thinking I'll need to relocate the springs inward, and maybe mini-tub. I'll be building a 360 Magnum to around 400 HP, 4 speed...

    help - control arm/ball joint threads OK?

    The ball joint was missing on this car when I got it. It had crash damage on that side, frame bent. The rest of the parts are there, ball joint missing. Wondering if the ball joint could be popped out in crash, which I presume would damage threads. Control arm looks fine, just wondering if...
