Hello, I'm attempting to install my torsion bars on my 69 coronet. A little background, I purchased the car halfway through a build in boxes. The previous owner did full floors/crossmember and installed most of the Hotchkis TVS kit. I dropped a 5.7 Hemi/Tr6060 in, added a USCT Level 2 stiffening...

Finally, some progress! Due to weather, work and some other reasons, my time in the garage has been a bit limited. However, I was finally able to get the transmission out of the car last night! My problem stemmed from the fact that I could not remove my torsion bars - something I have done on...

Drivetrain is doable, if your keeping the stock suspension the torsion bar crossmember will need to be reinforced if your going to install a bigger transmission... Seats you'll find they are designed for a taller cabin... Or in other words bolted to the floor your head will be in the roof...

...70 charger. I already have disassembled the car... also the front axle. So my question is , if it is necessary to have the torsion bar installed for a proper alignment of the crossmember ??? If yes i have to reinstall the front axle parts again.. would be a pain .... The old...

Thanks for the thoughts. The uca bolts are in place but not tight. The lca has not been touched. I backed off the torsion bar adjusters 3 revolutions. The spindles are at the same height as they would be if the tires were on but I will install the rotors and mount the tires and take out the jack...

Just have fun drive it like you made it.

Bilstein and don't look back! You'd be surprised what good shocks all around and sway bars to do to improve things. The rest is really just gravy unless you're putting down bigger power upon which you choose the correct spring rate leafs and torsion bars and add some subframe connectors, etc...

I was an auto mechanic in the 1970's did a lot of alignments, and on the proper tracking, you have to adjust the suspension to pull against the crown of the road. More camber less caster on the drivers side wheel by 1/2 degree. If you do that you can let go of the steering wheel and it will...

I had the Steer & Gear stage II, center slop was still there. Yes it steers firmer with more "feel" but still hard to drive in a straight line without correcting it. The center slop is a standard "issue" with the OEM box or any brand that refurbishes or rebuilds stock style steering boxes, its...

—- These are Hemi TTI’s for A body. They sure fit nice. Drivers side is a step process though: 1-starter in place and connected. 2- header bolted in place. 3- strg box installed from the front. 4- pitman arm installed onto strg box 5- steering linkage install. 6- torsion bar install.

My 68 Sport Satelite Convertible has the original small block torsion bars and leaf springs on it. I already have a PST front sway bar for it, I just need to install it. I am looking for new parts that someone bought and never used. I want either a set of Mopar 1.03 Torsion bars or Hotchkis 1.10...

Torsions bars successfully installed, even though getting the poly dirt seals on were a royal f**king PIA. Pisses me off, no matter how careful you are, the bars still get scratched up going in through the back mount and then having to mostly hang out the back end while the fight ensues trying...

I did it to a 69 Charger so not the same but you'll need to mod the torsion bar cross member as well.https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/viper-t56-install.85042/ Starts on page 4, not the same but should give you a feel for what it involves. Also checkout @keepat build, his...

This site needs a hot air button.

Hello, anyone have any knowledge whether early 62-65 body have similar torsion bar crossmember to 66 and later? Only thing I notice is bolt holes for trans mount drilled @ a wider spacing than early cars! Not sure about hight,width, length etc. Mine could be repaired but makes sense to put in...

Hello all, I'm trying to reassemble my v8/auto 63 Polara which was taken almost completely apart and scattered around sometime in the 90's. I'm pulling from parts found in the trunk... Hoping for help identifying the correct bushings for the strut rods, and if there are any bushings associated...

I voted for QA1, of what I've used & installed I like them the best had the best results you can piecemeal them 1 part at a time if need be ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Different strokes for different folks, IMHFO some will never do other than...

The plan is to make a very reliable, fun and capable daily driver type car. Essentially everything will be new or redone except the exterior. It will have a air grabber hood and the 71 spoilers front and rear. Not planning on painting the exterior anytime real soon but when/if I do it will be B5...

I had a FFII box put in my '63 poly and have around 2,000 or so miles on it. Discovered problems (as photo'd) with the left link hitting the torsion bar and center link dragging across the TTI header. I'm of course wondering how this came to be. Have sifted the net to find install instructions...
