Didn’t see that in the post. I don’t think the factory used different length bolts from side to side by design.

The way I read the Abody thread is the visible thread length below the LCA was different from side to side - not that the overall length of the adjuster bolts were different side to side. That means the bolts were most likely adjusted differently from side to side.

either way, it worked out. It was just funny that I thought it was clever, but who knew brake fluid ate foam earplugs.

I had to change the front driver brake caliper on my wife’s car yesterday because one of the pistons froze. I wanted to remove the old caliper, bring it to the store so I could take care of the core charge in one trip and not have to go back later. It has a banjo fitting for the brake fluid and...

In addition to the above, You probably should adjust all four brakes per the FSM to get to a known starting point.

I’m not familiar with the different years and features. I’ve got a 65 with a 65 kframe. what is a double shear mount? What is a captured style? With what I have, would there be a benefit to eliminating the play in idler arm itself? Seems like it would eliminate 50% of the play?

Thanks guys. I’m guessing it’s this kit? How was the installation and how does it perform?

Anybody know if anyone makes a roller bearing idler arm for a 65? Google doesn’t turn up anything that I’ve found. Nothing from Bergman, Moog, PST. I see it for 65 C-Bodies but not B.

65 Sat- I came across this post last week because I have the same issue on my 65 Belvedere. Everything you ran into, I have as well. After all was assembled, do you think you could have used a 9” long end link instead of 9.5”? 9.5” seems like it would leave about 1” of thread exposed after...

Thanks

Thanks - forward position it is!

Thanks - looks like the forward position.

65 Belvedere- fitting my ebrake cable and need to mount the under-floor brackets for the midddle cable. Anybody know the correct location? I can see two possible locations. One toward the front of the pan and the other further back.

@themachanic Just came across this older thread. Thanks for posting. I’m doing the same thing but I have a 65. Your hardware is different than mine. My grommet was missing so I am not sure if it mounts outside or inside the firewall. Looking at your picture, the grommet mounts from the outside...

Answered my own questions tonight. After removing the split pin that holds the shift lever in place, the shift lever can be pulled out of the housing. The end of the shift lever also goes through the housing and into the inside tube in the column. So the shift lever holds the housing in place...

I’ve got my original 3spd manual steering column from my 65 Belvedere. How do I remove the housing that rotates with the shift lever? It’s connected to the tube and linkage somehow and I can’t figure out. The attached exploded view does not show any type of attachment. 2nd question- There is an...

If the only difference in measurements is the pass side is 1” closer to the front of the fender and the measurements to the rear of fenders is the same on both sides, it sounds like your fender wheel openings are not the same size. Have you measured the wheel opening on both sides?

I believe Detroit Muscle Technologies has steering column bearings. Not sure about your year. Maybe worth a look.

Your application should be the same as mine and it looks like your bracket is 5-6” from the bump stop bolt. I was concerned the sway arms might not be long enough to reach that far but this is encouraging. Thanks!
