    Need to know. Will 24560r17's fit my 65 Satellite?

    I would bet yes, most definitely, those are a bit tame specs IMO, assuming a proper 50? or lower profile tire

    Torq Thrust Wheel History

    I agree, especially for that era. I however mounted some 17x10 5 spoke polished/gloss black Mustang TT knock offs on my daily driver Tacoma and I was pleasantly surprised how it stepped up the look besides the better handling.

    Torq Thrust Wheel History

    This is a current 62 I own. I bought it sight unseen that had a set of 14x8 American Racing 200S wheels, fully expecting them to be replaced with my favorite Torque Thrusts of years past. The "Coke bottle" style wheels seemed like a European version of TT's that never really caught on. I grew to...

    Was the incorporation of a video of a plane flying in rain with or without wipers intentional? :thumbsup: :rofl:

    Theoretically

    I agree, but few of our cars meet fully meet that standard. Splash shields on disc brakes might be an example. So far, I can't find that commonly accepted broad requirement in a written Florida statue.

    exhaust system reroute 1970 charger

    "it might be a heat issue and i was thinking if it would be possible to build a Challenger T/A side tips " However, those are likely separate unrelated issues. Side exits on our cars IMO seem rather inefficient flow wise and more cosmetic than anything. I'd rather see simplified under the axle...

    Could someone explain how air shocks work to a newbie? And possibly how to adjust them?

    The problem though remains, the case has not IMO conclusively been made that air shocks punch thru anything by their use. The case has been made that air shocks can damage a rear cross member by over extended repeated bottoming out cycles with a pulling apart failure. I could see that eventually...

    Could someone explain how air shocks work to a newbie? And possibly how to adjust them?

    I see one aspect that would concern me he (curiousyellow) notes. The hit from an air extended shock might generate repeatedly as it bottomed out on extension would be intense. However that would be abusive to the car and rather dumb to allow. I think he is also addressed axle wind up regarding...
