Mostly the strut rod bushings are shot.I think I have tracked down the issue, a little of a few things. Just though while I had it apart for new brakes, I would look into this. Thanks![]()
When I did the front end on the GTS, I found out that the Urethane bushings are to big, could not get the nut started on the front. Ended up using some good Moog bushings. Just a heads up, TimMostly the strut rod bushings are shot.

So I need to grab strut rods too for when I swap the polara's brakesDid you swap to disk brakes??
On the later cars which are often donor cars for disk brakes (73+) have different strut rods. Some are coarse thread and some fine thread, they are slightly different enough to cause a problem like what you are talking about. Had the same problem when I swapped disk brakes from a 75 duster to a 69 dart.
Sure, I understand, I did go to 73+ disc, But I was using the original strut rod bars... Still no go , with the urethaneDid you swap to disk brakes??

Sounds like funNot a fun day. Vehicles caked in snow,so got a couple unwanted showers. Not my favorite days.
Pop in one headlamp and day is done. Nothing booked tomorrow, some more cleaning on the 318, maybe pull the heads....
Yep. There's a page on my website about measuring and cutting the poly ones to fit.Sure, I understand, I did go to 73+ disc, But I was using the original strut rod bars... Still no go , with the urethane

I'll stay quiet then.....IDK why, but today was one of those days were I was irritated and pissed of by everyone and everything. All day I felt like I was ready to bite someone. Zero tolerance for stupid.


I tell people to bite me everyday. Must be a phila. Thing.IDK why, but today was one of those days were I was irritated and pissed of by everyone and everything. All day I felt like I was ready to bite someone. Zero tolerance for stupid.

I forgot the name of the cheese we were talking about a few weeks back.Yeah, I can't point at any one thing that started it but I felt like a pressure cooker on slow boil that just kept getting hotter as the day went on.
Maybe my gyvashyter is broken.
...Was it cacio or caciocavallo?
