1973 B-body suspension overhaul

[WhEElsofTerroR.]

Hello, I'm new to the forum. I have been working on a 1973 charger project for a couple years now, it is a base 318 car that I have swapped a 360 and A-518 into. All of the front suspension is completely worn and the car handles like a truck. I am looking to overhaul all of the front suspension and bushings. I am a college student and am on a short budget, do you have any recommendations on kits? I noticed the 71-74 challenger and the earlier 70-72 charger suspension kits are much cheaper than the 73 charger kits. What is the difference between these?

73-4 B-body is a completely different K-member set-up than a 70-4 E-body or a 71-2 B-body set-up so the parts are different than those and priced differently...

Yup, completely different deal... First thing I'd do is put urethane body to subframe mounts... What part of California? Doesn't look like LA...

Check with PST to replace the wearable suspension parts, shock absorbers, etc. along with ^^ subframe mounts.

I agree on the solid or stiff poly ISO bushings.



Now lets talk about those upper control arm bushings and the lack of documentation on replacing them.

...and that 1973 only steering "rag joint" coupler.
