Hi I have a somewhat dumb question. I was looking around and saw that there is a distinction between thermostat for engine from before and after 1979. What are the differences between those and are they completely incompatible ?

Okay I see, the one on my car is a different model most definitely not the proper one. I thought you meant a piece on it was broken.

feel free to point it out to me as if i m toddler, i m a neophyte. maybe it s the photo angle there is 4 line coming out of it and one coming from the top will do

how can you tell the switch is damaged what made you notice it I m guessing copper but since i m not the one that installed that brake system i cant be sure 1971 plymouth satellite that had many owner so this is why i m trying to figure out what is needed to change/repair

Thanks for the replies here is what I currently have on my car. Front brakes are wilwood disc brake and the rear are regular drums

B-bump

Do you mean i ll have to change my master cylinder ? I have a braker booster and a master cylinder with 2 circuit

Hi everyone In the near futur i will be replacing my rear drum brake for disc braker, i already have front disc braker. My question is will i need to replace the current proportionning valve ?

Thanks I ll maybe get one in the future but that s not my top priority

I m bumping this thread to as a really stupid question. Over the year my satellite went through many owners and the front suspension has been replaced but I never noticed until last week that it doesn't have a front sway bar. How bad is missing one? I drove it to cruise for the last 2 summers...

The video was just an example, regarding the alignment I really wish in France we had people that knew or had the tool/machine to do an alignment. When I took it there they used one of those lift with the Lazer to do the alignment but they didn't have the spec for the car, they only have the...

When I m driving on a straight road and I keep the steering wheel straight the car is heading to the right. When I have the steering wheel turned slightly to the left it goes straight. Since I m in France finding mechanics able to work on those car for specific issue like alignment is quite hard...

No offense taken I m aware that lack the knowledge in mechanic to do everything on my own. I had the alignment redone by a mechanic that knows a bit about old American cars because my camber was all wrong but now it s the steering wheel that is crooked. I was hoping for a simple fix like on the...

I ve noticed that my 71 satellite is pulling to the right when the steering wheel is perfectly centered. Is there a way to fix it once the wheels are absolutely going strait by un tightening something and then rotating another thing until the steering wheel is centered like in this video. If...

I see now how the crush sleeve comes into play. I thought it was just to seat in the gap and seal a bit the front hole of the third member not to get the proper space between the pinion teeth and the threaded part where the yoke nut bolts in.

okay so the technique to tighten by small increment until i get the initial turning torque wouldnt mess the crush sleeve, right ?

to be sure i understand properly since english isnt my primary language the preload is the torque resistance when turning the pinion right? if yes then i might be a simpleton but wouldnt screwing the yoke nut little by little unti the torque resistance is the same be the way to go?

the spare one i have has a 3.23 ration the one the satellite has a 3.73 ratio i m quite confused about the crushsleeve i m looking at the diagram and i dont see how the crush sleeve will interact with the yoke. will the yoke be pushing back the sleeve when tightening it in? Thanks for all the...

so if i go throu the process i ll have to check the wear patern after doing the swap if the yokes are compatible

nice tip i ll check this out tomorrow
