Just completed the install of an M Body rear sway bar into my Duster. Thought I would share a couple tips with you if you are considering or in the process of this same mod. This post is not to replace that write up that is already out here and can be found here...

Hello good FABO folks, Getting ready to install my sway bars and have a generic link kit. Does it matter how long the bolt sleeve is, as long as we have appropriate clearance with other parts? This is going on a '72 Duster that has a later model spool mount K frame. The sleeves in the kit I...

Any tips or techniques for replacing the front bushing? The FSM says to install it at the same time you remove the old one, using a special tool of course... That outer sleeve looks pretty thin, and the rubber sticks out a fair amount past the sleeve, looks like it would tear the rubber loose...

Evening all, I am planning to use this PS box & pump from an '88 Gran Fury. I have removed it from the car, but an having a heck of a time getting the coupling removed. I removed a plastic pin, and did not see a roll pin. Is there something else in that hole, or is it just rusted up? I...

Evening, and Happy New Year! Just a couple quick question(s). Did manual steering boxes have aluminum cases? Found this jewel in the weeds recently. It has been so long since I've looked at a manual box that I wondered if this was unusual, or maybe it's something other than aluminum. A...

Evening, Ready to install Upper & Lower Control Arms after installing new bushings. Do you grease up the LCA shaft or UCA bolts? FSM is silent on this. Thanks, C

Howdy folks. Just got a new TRW idler arm. This is a '75 disc package I am putting on my '72. I ordered the IA for the '75. From the pic you can see the old one and the new one. Is this a wrong part, an improved design, or what? Thanks, C

Working on a '72 Duster, putting a '75 Duster disc brake package on. Auto parts sites indicate the tie rod end sleeves to be the same. Check these two pics out, first is my '72; second pic are the sleeves from the '75 that I cleaned up to paint. Both are /6 cars. Clearly, not the same...

Evening folks, Working on a '72 Duster, installing '75 UCA. When I removed the upper ball joint it was very obviously well greased upon installation, the threads that is. Neither the FSM nor the directions which came with the new ball joints say to do this. Seems to me like it was a good...

Evening folks, I am starting to rebuild my front end while it's still too cold to do much bodywork so expect a few questions from me. Tonight, I have seen references to "heavy duty" tie rod ends and sleeves. ESPO even offers a HD option for an additional $$ for the tie rod sleeve. Is there...

Good morning, and Happy New Year y'all, Getting ready to rebuild the front end in my Duster and have a couple questions: First, who is McQuay-Norris? I had never heard of them until recently when I started my search for the front end kit. How do they compare, quality-wise, with Moog or TRW...

I have the lower control arms removed so that I can clean them up, paint them and replace the bushings. After removing the bushing, can the "torsion bar socket" and "ear" come apart from the LCA? Thanks, C

Howdy folks, My '72 Duster came with power steering (about the only item under the hood, actually). Will the gearbox interchange with any other models (non A body)? I have an '88 Grand Fury parts car, would this work? I'm looking for a faster ratio. What about the pump? Would the Fury's PS...

Howdy folks, I want to drop a 318 into my (now /6) '72 Duster. In searching for a new K frame, am I limited to only A body frames, or will some other body type K frame work? Thanks, C
