Ummmm...I'm thinking it will take a bit longer now than 30 years ago. Metabolism and osteoclast/osteoblast function for bone rebuilding changes dramatically with age.

When you are young, your entire bone structure is rebuilt every 90 days or so. At age 50, it takes closer to 18 months which is why osteoporosis is such a huge issue in men and women in their older years. When the hormones estrogen and testosterone begin to wane, the bone rebuilding process slows massively.
in other words - while you weren't looking - you got older and this **** ain't going away as quick as you might like - sorry dude
 
Yep about 3k miles on it. 72 down is rear steer as well. Just swap the spindles from a 73 car to get discs. If you want to run factory sway bar reverse the spindles and ball joints. Its been pretty common on here.
Uh... my dart had a factory sway bar was still rear steer. I just don't see how that's possible. I discussed this very thing for for a couple hours with Ron Sutton a while back before deciding to just go full aftermarket. There's no way with a factory spindle flipped like that will have proper geometry. You may not notice it though unless you're running wide sticky tires.
Don't mind Chris, he hasn't actually built one...yet.
:poke:<<(Chris)

Actually I have, you forget, this dart isn't my first Mopar, I did successfully complete a 451 stroker swap into my 74 charger, granted it looked like **** but it ran and drove great.... thank you very much :icon_fU:

plus this topic has been beat to death in the past, with experts like Ron Sutton Bill Reilly, Hemidenny and Carl Gerst all in agreement as to the geometric issues caused by flipping Mopar rear steer spindles. The question really is just how noticeable is it.
 
i hope that's a girl cow....
Yes it is..... geez you'd think you old guys that had pet Dinosaurs would recognize an udder on a cow....... I mean you all had to travel 6 miles up hill both ways to milk 100 cows every morning haha
 
that's why i drink milk regularly...
So do I, 3 glasses everyday...but the calcium and vitamin D don't change the pathways for osteoclast and osteoblast function of bone rebuilding. They need the hormones that you lose as you get older in order to effectively use the calcium and vitamin D to rebuild bone.

The system runs on hormones and the calcium and vitamin D are just the building blocks. The hormones function as the work crew to lay the blocks and mortar them together. When they are in short supply, the blocks just sit there.

I can get you a pic, its possible. Is it right, I have no idea. All I know is it tracks straights and turns like it needs to. Plus the caster/camber could be set to the specs I requested.

" Due to lower T, something will be huge, but not the bone"

Interesting indeed. I'm curious now as to the affects it has on the negative camber issue Mopar a bodies are notorious for

Haha I'm far from butt hurt. I'm curious as to how it's working if all the documented evidence says it shouldn't . Trust me, you'll know when/if I ever get butt hurt on here. It takes a lot to get me to that level. They'll be numerous cuss words and other vulgar phrases used and I'd be banned lol

Wait, if we have not banned George yet, you will not get banned either...

Then i will have 2 make more hormones...


Do you know how 2 make a hormone?????

Don't pay her....


I know i won't heal as fast as when younger, but i will do what i can....

Sorry Chris, but it doesn't make any engineering sense. If the center point of the pivot point of the wheel remains equidistant from the steering armature, then the angle of attack for each wheel remains constant. It's nothing more than a parallelogram swiveling off the centerline and it doesn't matter which side of it you drive the steering from.
