    A-Body Steering Center Link Question

    Seen plenty of buttfaces list later center links as "V8" links, but as said, they are all indeed the same 67 and up. Which one am I? Siskel or Ebert? LOL

    Bleeding Brakes.. Problem?

    Very simple to diagnose instead of all the "I thinks". Get your wife to press the brake pedal and hold it firmly. While she is doing that, starting at the right rear, crack the line loose going to the wheel cylinder, then the left. The proceed to the next junction which will be the block on the...

    Another PInion angle question

    Pinion angle is anywhere between 3-7* pinion nose down depending on what you're doing. Street car, 3-5*. Race car, 5-7*.

    Lower bushings dead at 8000 miles!

    Yeah, that'll do it. You gotta torque all the suspension bolts with the weight on the car. PITA as it is.

    Front-end

    If it is simply out of place after letting it down fro on a lift, back it out in the driveway and see what it looks like.

    Super stock or OE springs?

    Super Stock springs ain't the devil. They work great for what they're intended for. I kinda like um. If you choose wisely your car won't ride harsh either. Just like mentioned though, they do require longer front hangers because the front segment is shorter to also act as a traction bar. The...

    Leaf Spring ?

    Big truck shops are a good place to check. You can imagine how expensive truck leaf springs are so re-arching is a good way to save money.

    Leaf Spring ?

    I would agree with that......BUT he's already removed and disassembled his. That should knock a significant chunk off the price.

    Moog offset bushing question?

    I wasn't arguing. ;)

    Leaf Spring ?

    I would think exactly the opposite. They WERE probably the same when new. Over time, since the car does torque that way, the right spring is probably worn more than the left. It would probably not hurt to have them re-arched while you have them apart. I would not do it without having heat...

    Leaf Spring ?

    The springs are different because they have to handle loads differently. When accelerating, the car torques to the right. This is why the right spring has an extra leaf and is different. Don't worry about 1/4" difference. As long as the car is no more off than that 1/4", you're fine.

    Soft pedal after lots and lots and lots of bleeding.

    Is the master cylinder mounted with the front up at an angle? If so, it's a PITA to get air out of it. You should jack the car up until the master cylinder is level and then bleed.

    You're probably right.

    Moog offset bushing question?

    Yup, you're absolutely right. They used to point the opposite direction. I swear to God they caint leave anything alone. Used to be you pointed the arrow toward the frame to make that side of the control arm longer. That's nuts. Best thing to do is ignore the arrow and lust look at the hole...

    Moog offset bushing question?

    It's real simple to figure. out. Imagine the upper and lower ball joint in your mind from the passengfer's side (front to you're right) of the car, but with them perfectly verticle, making a perfectly verticle steering axis. Now, imagine moving the upper ball joint in front of the lower ball...

    Moog offset bushing question?

    I've installed MANY offset bushings like that. Whoever told you to press the washers in with a vice is dead RIGHT. That's how you do it. Once they are pressed all the way on, they will fit. However, I will say this. I don't know how you installed all the bushings. But the correct way if you are...
