    Steering not self correcting

    Hard to tell what the rake is from this picture however the car sits almost even with only a slightly lower front end.

    Steering not self correcting

    I took advise from a red seal mechanic of mine, some of the Manitoba Mopar Association members and B Body only members. The fact that I took the Mopar Club's advise of what shop to take my car to is because the shop is local. I haven't run across many members on the B Bodies site from Winnipeg...

    Steering not self correcting

    I spoke to the owner of the shop who did the alignment and he said the maximum castor adjustment he could get on my car was +0.3 (L) and +0.4 (R). Front tire pressure is 31 and 32 PSI. He feels as though it's a bad box so have ordered a new one. The box was purchased in September of 2023 and...

    '69 B Body Alignment Specs.

    The guy I took my car too has a number of members from the Manitoba Mopar Association bringing their cars to him and give positive reviews. This is a small shop owned by him so there is no major chain to dictate what he does and with him having a '70 Charger must be familiar with different...

    Steering not self correcting

    Went to check the fluid level in the P.S. reservoir and it looked bone dry so bought some fluid and it only took 1 to 1/2- 2 ounces tops to bring the fluid level up to the full/cold mark. Started the car and brought it up to operating temperature and checked level again now reading full/hot...

    '69 B Body Alignment Specs.

    Highest caster range per the sheet the shop owner gave me is 1.3 per side. I would hope the shop owner would be smart enough to realize that the car has radial tire and not go by alignment specs from the late '60s.

    '69 B Body Alignment Specs.

    If you add the toe numbers from both sides it would come to 0.25, tires are about 7 inches wide

    '69 B Body Alignment Specs.

    Currently caster is at 0.3 (L) and 0.4 (R). Camber is 0.3 both sides and toe is 0.13 (L) and 0.12 (R). Per Toe Range from the sheet the guy who did the alignment 0.9 to 0.16 both sides where mine was set at 0.13 (L) and 0.12 (R). I was told to increase the caster as much as possible and...

    '69 B Body Alignment Specs.

    A few weeks back before the alignment I took the car to a show where the speed limits ranged from 60 to 80 KPH but I didn't take any notice of how flat the road surface was. I have no idea on how to adjust caster and don't know if you can only play with caster if the car is on an alignment...

    Steering not self correcting

    I will try jacking the front wheels of the ground first and see what the steering does. If the guy who rebuilt the box screwed up then it's going to be very costly as I would have to take the car to a service station with a hoist. When my cousin put the new steering box in he had to remove the...

    Would this be the screw and lock nut on top of the steering box?

    Steering not self correcting

    Even though the car was all over the lane with the old steering box it was still very light and did self correct as good as it could considering at the time the alignment was all out of wack so don't think the pump pressure would be low. As far as optimum sector adjustment in the steering box I...

    Steering not self correcting

    As it is now without the car's steering self correcting to center the car will drive right into on coming traffic if I'm not turning the steering wheel like a madman back to center. I would have thought adjusting the castor so it self corrects would be a priority for the alignment tech. as the...

    I have power steering and radial tires so let's focus on that.

    '69 B Body Alignment Specs.

    What would be the max positive caster you could get with a Super Bee's stock suspension (I have radial tires) and will increasing the caster by positive 2 or 3 throw out your camber and/or toe?

    Steering not self correcting

    I don't intend on taking any planned wild turns as in road racing these car had one purpose, go fast in a straight line.

    Steering not self correcting

    Steering at top is tight. I will have to ask the person who installed the box if they used thread lock. The right side has the most castor at 1.3 however on the page the alignment shop gave me 1.3 is at the top of the range so unsure if a shop would push it more and I'm not sure if it will...

    Steering not self correcting

    Bought the gearbox from Piston Ring in Winnipeg who tell me that they get their reman. boxes from BBB/Wilson in Winnipeg (they have also changed names however only remember it starts with a T. The castor was set at the lowest end of the range and going by a mechanic friend he tells me his shop...

    Steering not self correcting

Last winter I had a reman. power steering box installed to replace my old worn one. I have taken the car in for a front...

    Mopar B Body 26 inch fan shroud

    The link you provided was for an OEM part and per the website I browsed the shroud I saw was OER. The price for the OEM shroud is $145.99 with the OER part being $119.66 and assume this to be in U.S. dollars (on Josh's Muscle car parts). The person selling the shroud locally has it advertised...
