I had that happen once on a Duster frame where the K member bolted to the frame. The tapped area where the bolt goes, was essentially gone. So we cut a short frame section off another car, and welded it in place. Worked out great! You have to have some experience with frame repairs to do a good job.

Now with the six pack installed, it really pulls left on full throttle! Yea, time for some new rear tires.

Now that thing was making some torque! Was that a hemi car? That bent the spring perch? - - - Updated - - - Well Cranky wins the prize this time! Pulled both rear tires, they are both M/T street tires, 12.50 wide by 29 tall. Weathered, and not the same circumference! Pretty well down to the...

Ok, I'll check that tomorrow!

Measuring from front of tire forward to wheelwell, the left tire is closer to the front of the wheelwell on the left side by a good 1/2 inch. I know this isn't real accurate, but gives an indication as to whats going on.

As far as I know, the tires appear the same height. Do you make a chalk mark on the tire and ground, then roll one complete revolution and make another mark on ground when the mark is straight down again, and measure the distance between marks? That seems like a good way to do it. Also, does the...

Hi Miller, can you tell me what measuring points the factory says to measure? For frame in square? Or can I find that on line? Thanks.

When turning the torsion bar adj bolts, I always spray them with lubricant first. Now when lowering the height, I don't take the weight off as the bolts turn easily. But when raising the ride height, I take the weight off, as you are lifting the weight with the bolts. I have seen them twist in...

Thanks, Miller. I will check it maybe on Sunday.

Would this be caused by the left rear tire being closer to the front wheels than the right rear tire? Propelling the front end to the right under acceleration? - - - Updated - - - I guess I can measure the distance from the axle housing to the lower control arm on each side, compare the 2...

Haven't changed anything yet. But it has had subframe connectors welded in by a previous owner. The front end lifts and angles to the right on full throttle in first gear, then you let off and it wants to go left. Not as much effect in second and third gears. - - - Updated - - - I suppose it...

That would certainly account for the pulling right on a hard pull. Never thought of that. Thanks! - - - Updated - - - I am pretty sure they are tight, everything else is. - - - Updated - - - Would the torsion bar tension need to be totally released to check them?

My 69 Roadrunner pulls right when the front end lifts on hard acceleration. Then you let off the gas, and it goes back to the left. Makes it a little scary to drive. All the front end parts feel tight, with no loosness noticed anywhere. Had a good front end alignment done after I bought the car...
