We have six vehicles now which accounts for no less than 24 valve stem caps. The plastic ones these days keep disappearing. I know one that has split but stays on anyway. Not sure if they fall off or someone is not putting them back on. I thought I would splurge and purchase metal caps. First...

I experienced some difficulty re-installing the 1972 Satellite Sebring Plus hubcaps today (getting ready for a local car show this Sunday). With one of the pieces, and even with a rubber hammer, every time I banged on one end it would dislodge on the opposite side. I tried going all around...

They should be inflated using a safety cage. Explosion Risk - Split Rim Wheels.

Right, I guess to fine tune these tires one should really take tread depth readings across the tire on occasion. What I like to do is use an infrared pistol thermometer across the tires after a short drive to see how even the tread temperature is across the width (which can also help diagnose...

After sitting for a few months the tires (215/70R14) on the '72 Satellite Sebring Plus have a variety of air pressure readings. The spare has 30# as well as two mounted tires, one has 33#, and one has only 25#. The two air shocks (which have separate fill hoses) are both down to nothin'. Going...

I did not put this in general thread section on purpose, but forum referees can move it if they so desire. I won't know for sure until tomorrow morning, but I believe I strained my lower back. One front tire on the '96 Dakota had 10 pounds less air than the others so I pulled it off at home...

Oxygen must also be a factor. I find things I have packed in plastic bags in storage tubs, obviously out of the sun, where the plastic bag disintegrates when I pick it up. I find plastic tops to various liquids I have stored (out of direct light) that just split open.

I have found rim's rusty on the inside and I have seen a lot of moisture emitted from service station air hoses. I assume airing up the tires on the rims will also introduce water vapor and possible rust issues. Maybe don't mount them yet? Just my thoughts.

Right, but I don't know who's willing to ship to Mexico.

Can't find anything these days that matches original equipment. On the left in the photo, this "new" 1/2" I found locally takes a different lug wrench size (larger) and it just doesn't seem to fit into the rim hole exactly like the old nuts on my '72 BBody. I don't want to use them (I'd rather...

I have both A and B bodies. Thank you.

I don't remember my parents new '71 Road Runner tires doing this brown thing (Goodyear G60-15 Polyglas GT).

The white oxidizes when exposed to air/oxygen. You need to keep cleaning them or find a way to seal them from the O2.

Specialty bolt/nut/fastener store sold me some 1/2" lug nuts for my '72 Satellite that use a 13/16" socket instead of the 3/4" socket. I'm OK right? (I have a star lug wrench so it's fine by me).

The same shop that set up the lift on the body pinch welds rather than on the subframes. Good thing I was there to holler "STOP" (you dumbass).

Anything wrong with fotos two and three when compared to foto one? A kind of rhetorical question actually.

Back when Dad purchased a new Chevy pick-up truck, I (then a twenty-year-old), began driving his old one (a '69 Chevy step-side 350 automatic w/open rear end). Before long, the right rear tire was bald. Imagine that.

I have a set of 14 inch small bolt pattern rallye wheels. Will I be able to use these on a '72 Satellite Sebring Plus somehow?

Factory option was 15 X 7 with G60-15 Polyglas GT (parents bought a '71 RR new when I was a teen). Still left a lot of room to upgrade.
