I have a 69 Barracuda and a 75 Duster. The Barracuda feels like it turns like a dump truck compared to the Duster. Whenever making 90 degree turns into driveways/parking lots etc, the Barracuda just seems like it needs more of an arch to achieve. Both cars have manual steering boxes (I know the Barracuda is original to the car, the Duster not sure if it was changed from power steering to manual or not) and suspension parts. The Duster has factory disc brakes and the Barracuda I swapped out the front drum brakes for disc brakes from a diplomat. I did check the Barracuda is turning lock to lock and tires aren't hitting anything. Were their different ratios manual steering boxes from the factory? Just trying to figure out why the Duster turns so much nicer.
