Pulled the passenger side tire off and got .012 end play. Pulled the outer bearing and cleaned it up. No signs of ware on the race or rollers, but is does not spinning nicely, so everything is getting replaced with Timken bearing . How do I best get the outer races out without marring ou the...

I am out of ideas with this. On my dad's '74 Cuda, the brakes will stay on when you press the peddle. You have to lift up the peddle with your foot to get it to come off. Parked at idle the peddle hangs up a little so that the lights are on, but going down the road it keeps them on enough that...

Thanks. I usually over prepair for stuff. I watch a few videos and pull out my FSM, my 1969 copy of auto mechanics fundamentals, the Haynes manual and bother my dad who used to do this all the time and did this car originally. I'm planning to wash them in degrease, and flush with mineral spirits...

Thanks that basically the direction I was going in. I'm still debating on if I should wait on the alignment before or after I mess with the bearings. Do you guys have a recommendation for grease? I remember Mopar Action had a specific recommendation but I can't remember what that was.

I took my Road Runner in for new front tires before getting the front end realigned. The tires were shot because I seem to have too much camber diled in. While at the shop the tech pointed out some endplay in the front wheel bearings and suggested I look at if I needed new bearings before the...

Yeah I was wondering about that. Is anyone using safety wire on OE brake parts?

I was driving my car the other day and heard a clunk like something fell off the car. Turns out it was one of the bolts on the driver front caliper bracket bolts with the other being quite loose... The service manual says these are special nyloc bolts, but the bolt I have left has no signs of...

Yep. I went with 11" because I didn't want to tear my rear end apart to swap backing plates to the 10". Sounds like the OP is in the same boat. I would not go out of my way to change from one to another with discs in front.

I have 11s on the rear with factory discs. The 9.25 axle I swapped in already had the 11 backing plates so I went that route. I used the stock master cylinder and prop valve. Just make sure you get a rebuild kit for the right size brakes. If I remember right the wheel cylinders were a little...

Thanks for the feedback. I'll leave what I have with my crude measurements until I can get it to a shop to verify. Just need to get the toe dialed in tonight and see how it drives.

Thanks for the thoughts. I am a bit gun shy of fully adjustable UCAs because all the stress of the arm has to go through the adjustment threads and I would worry about that cracking or the lock nuts coming loose. Anyway, I decided to leave the driver side as is since its maxed out and adjust...

I am trying to do an at home allignment while the world is on fire and I can't go to a shop to get it done professionally. Ride height is set how I want it. I have the UCA adjuster all the way in on the rear and in the middle on the front yielding Driver side -1.2 camber, 1.2 caster (calculate...

The Wilwood adjustable valve would give you some front/rear tuning for your system over a stock combination valve. Also, the Wilwood will require you to modify your new lines by bending them to mate up with the inlets & outlets and possibly changing the flare nuts. (On my stock 72' the front and...

It is a 72 Satellite Sebring Plus with the factory power disc/drum set up a single diaphragm booster. I believe it is a Midland Ross booster since my dad's 74 Cuda has Bendix stamped on it and is crimped where mine is a v band. From my 72 service manual it appears to be the correct booster for...

If this booster is bad, where do I get a rebuild kit or new booster? I have the stock disc/10" drum booster and 4 bolt master cylinder. I cannot find anything for the single diaphragm boosters at the normal speed shops (only lots of stuff for dual diaphragms). Am I missing some key word for the...

I have been having issues with keeping my engine running and having it stall when stabbing the throttle and even after idling for a couple of minutes. I started clamping off vacuum hoses to see if I could find a leak. When I clamped off the hose for the brake booster the engine idle slowed down...

I'm dealing with this as well and im not sure its so simple. I have a 9.25 rear end with 11" backing plates but no brake parts. I don't want to tear into the axle so I bought new drums, shose, the plates that space the shose, parking brake actuators. I had bought a set of 10" parts where I think...

I was cleaning up my strut rods and found that one was bent and pretty upset around the shoulder on one end. How critical is that for steering and safety? Is this something I can correct by heating and bending? Does anyone have a one that is in good shape I could buy for a reasonable price?

Good news. Thanks

I just bought a 9-1/4 sure-grip sans brakes for my 72 Satellite. Does anyone know if the 8-1/4 backing plate flange bolts are the same as the 9-1/4? (or the 7-1/4)? The '74 Chrysler service manual doesn't seem to indicate a difference in the flanges for any of the X-1/4 axles. It would be great...
