You really should have the upper and lower control arms and spindles assembled prior to installing the torsion bars. You will want the upper and lower control arm as an assembly to be at full drop. At this point you should be able to slide the torsion bar in. In some cases, you may need to raise...

Put it together like a pro .... ASSEMBLY SEQUENCE: (some variation with different body types) (from bare painted body shell) Spray radiator saddle blackout Rocker panel pinchweld blackout (if applicable) Front frame rail side blackout (if applicable) 1. trunk weatherstrip 2. body rubber...

Does this look correct? The torsion bar adjustors are set to what they were on the factory suspension. I wasn't expecting the upper bump stops to be mashed down. These are 1/4" taller than the factory upper bump stops, but still . . .

A while ago I was asking questions about torsion bar adjusters and came away with the conclusion that the ones I installed when I swapped the torsion bars and rebuilt the LCAs were junk. They went partially in and then refused to turn any more. So, I bought a new set which I went to install...

Just took the pic after Installation of the front end. No alignment has been made yet. I still have to install a Baer 13” brake it also.

I found it from Resto Rick, just cut and paste. Here's a sequence I've been working on to post on my tech board... ASSEMBLY SEQUENCE: (some variation with different body types) (from bare painted body shell) Spray radiator saddle blackout Rocker panel pinchweld blackout (if applicable) Front...

Just to be clear, unsprung weight reduction of a TB vs Coil over is correct, but it is only one of, but not the only one of TB's positives, IMO. Mopar TB's do have negatives. I agree on the 2 or 3" single shear issue with TR mounting on the R&P set-ups, but also chuckle at those that think...

My first headers may have been BlackJacks....I had a 76 Camaro with a 350 and automatic. Later I swapped in shorty headers and a 4 speed. The header swaps in that car were pretty easy. Mopars though? The damn steering linkage, shifter linkage, starter and torsion bars make header...

Thanks for posting list. Out of curiosity is this your assembly procedure or a factory one? Just wondering if there is a known list of assembly plant line procedures? IE,work station #1 preformed this duty. Work station # 2 preformed this duty? Etc,etc. on down to completion?

Do you know where i can find rocker panel braces? Or the name of them on AMD or OEM?

I agree, removing the control arm bump stop rubber usually helps lower the LCA enough to slip the torsion bar in.

So I was finally able to get everything apart on the passenger side. even replaced the lower control arm bushing which was a whole ordeal. really not looking forward to doing it again on the drivers side. But now that I've started re-assembling the passenger side I've run into a new issue. The...

I would like to cut a 3/4 inch hole, on forward and aft side, of passenger side torsion bar mount bracket to run a fuel line. Currently my lines are in the factory positions. Car is Sniper EFI so there are two metal lines. I have AN fittings with -6 steel hose for connections at tank and at...

This is good info Peter. My 68 Satellite is 99% street car, but I tried to build it to handle. Not knowing much, I installed 2" drop spindles so I wouldn't need to lower the torsion bars as much to get the stance I wanted with the front fender lip at the top of the tire, thinking that this also...

Thanks, was this on jigsaw? I think I was reading that thread the other day. I’m kinda dreading the header install because of the trial fitting, and the bashing, but I’ve made my choice and I’ll “suffer” the consequences :rofl: I’m sure the TTIs are the bees knees, but $1k is hard to shell...

Ride height set too low OR weak torsion bar OR install a front sway bar. Other possibilities: broken torsion bar mount in frame OR loose LCA pivot nut. Also worth noting: the ride height should be adjusted with the nuts loose on the lower control arm pivots. The nuts should then be tightened...

I own a 1974 RoadrunnerGTX, I went with the large torsion bars, and PST polygraphite front suspension and steering kit. Poly K member mounts, Borgeson steering box. Drives and handles wonderful, install a rear sway bar if yours didn’t come with one from the factory.

It's been two years this coming month since I started replacing the torsion bar anchor and redid the brake lines. She had a tired three eighteen, so I replaced it with 440. Dealing with a dishonest machine shop, whose ad claimed they knew MOPARs. I trusted them, big mistake, they carelessly...

I also installed these, I think they work very well. Drilling the holes perfectly for the bushings in the rear to be able to fit was a pain indeed. I found that after some months of driving, the holes for the bushings in the rear started to elongate, so I welded them, and the connectors worked...

Take the weight of the car off the adjuster, weld a nut on the end of the broken adjuster, dress the threads so you can screw the new nut on as far as possible before welding. Take a torch and heat the square block dull red and use an impact wrench to remove the adjuster. Make sure you do not...
