    1968 charger rear drum brake issue, help?

    Make sure the self adjust cable is seated down on the pin on top where the springs attach. If its not, it will put a slight pull on the adjuster lock, keeping it from fully engaging the wheel.

    Bump Stops

    But if the car was lower, then , the UCA would be moving up and away from the stop, not closer. When the suspension hangs down, then it rests on the stops. I need to get some poly bushings to handle the job. This particular car is stored in the air often.

    Bump Stops

    Poly is what I need. You get these old Dried up rubber relics from the auto parts stores, and they are older than you realize.

    Bump Stops

    Seems my Upper control arm Rubber bump stops continue to fail at a miserable rate, on both my R/T, and Belvedere. Squish ,crack, fall apart! Am I alone here. Guess it's time for poly. Any recommendations? Sick of buying Junk, for such a simple part.

    Steering Linkage Clearance TTI Headers

    How is the passenger side ? More clearance? I would look at the pitman arm ,since that places the the drag link down away. The idler arm and the pitman arm should reach down to the same level. Motor mount sag or settlement? A few things are in play. Steering box fit correctly?

    wheel cylinders

    Steve.. You may already have done so, but now would be a good time to convert to DOT 5 to eliminate any moisture concerns.

    Master Cylinder Frustration

    So I picked up my third master cylinder at Napa a short time ago ( this time a rebuilt), because the last two New ones, would leak past the piston on the bench bleed. Much to my surprise I find , (for the first time) in the box, an ATTENTION notice that states .."When bench bleeding this...
