    Manual to Power steering

    The Borgeson box is pretty good. Its just one piece of my overall suspension upgrades but the steering is very responsive without the floatiness and overpowered feel of the factory unit.

    You would actually be adding weight where you do not want weight with a coilover system. Torsion bar systems actually have less unsprung weight than any coil system. Ride is nice. Stiff but not overly stiff. next to zero body roll.

    I think you will be impressed. I have similar setup except my uppers are SPC adjustable and also the PST 1.03 TB and this thing tracks excellent and turns on a dime.

    69 Satellite Front Disc Swap Caliper Location

    I suspect they added those instructions in order to quit getting calls about how to install them. I too installed mine to the rear because the instructions did not specify either at the time, and rear mount seemed to be the prevailing method on all the forums. . The way the kit is designed is...

    PST Vs Firm Feel - Torsion Bars

    Running the PST,s on my 67 with a 340. I finally got to drive it a little and the ride is great. Damn sure doesn't ride like a 50yr old car.

    Cap tubular suspension

    I would start by calling or emailing QA1 tech support. They should be able to give you an idea of if they changed them or not and may have backstock to support the original design.

    Need 8 3/4 help; axle end play

    Yes the thrust block. Without it you essentially would be eliminating any play the bearing has so once you tighten the bolts on the retainer you would not be able to move the axle because they are bottomed out on the bearing race.

    Need 8 3/4 help; axle end play

    Ok. When you installed the third member did you ensure that the spacer bushing was in there in between the axles. If its not there than you would not be able to adjust the end play because the axles are not contacting one another.

    Need 8 3/4 help; axle end play

    So first thing to check is do you have Green bearings or factory tapered bearings. If the bearings were replaced there is a good chance that they were replaced with Green Bearings and they no longer need to be adjusted.

    Bbody Parking Brake questions

    Perhaps things changed over the years as am in the process of doing this on my 67 Coronet and I do not recall any foam washers on the firewall studs. I know this has never been removed because I had to chip away the under coating to get to the nut heads inside the fender. Also there is no...

    Rear end alignment help

    I dont think so because the front section is a different length than the rear section and the rear end is perfectly centered in the wheel wells. If I had one backwards it would be twisted in the well.

    Rear end alignment help

    So I recently redid my rear diff and suspension. New limited slip (eatonTrutrac) kept the factory adjustable bearings, converted to jeep liberty rear disk, replaced worn out springs with hyperco composite leaf springs and all new hardware. Also added a panhard bar and rear sway bar. My issue...

    Tie Rod Clearance to Torsion Bar; Idler Arm Correct??

    I have the same issue. I think it comes down to variances in aftermarket tie rod ends and idler arms. I've seen at least 1/2 dozen different rod ends and currently have three different idler arms in my collection, each one is slightly different and have a slightly different angle. I just pulled...

    PST pitman arm

    Looks like their Quick Ratio pitman arm.

    Pitman arm sizes

    Should be 1 1/8 but you should double check it. I didn't and ordered the small kit for my 67 and someone had converted it to 1 1/4.

    Tomorrow Morning We Begin the Front End Rebuild ('72 SSP)

    Second that. its probably a given but you also need to remove the strut rod bolt and any sway bar end links before attempting this.

    Opinions on suspension upgrades?

    Whichever kit you go with dont forget torsion bars, if your car was a former small block or 6 car and now has a big block the tbars are not up to snuff. even if it was originally a 440 car and they are 50 yrs old a refresh might be due. You can drastically changed the handling capabilities of...

    Steering Gear

    The large sector Pitman arms came into service in 72 I believe and it was an across the board change A/B/C. It may have been phased in but eventually all cars had the large shaft. As for gear box internals there were a couple of different ratios out there but most you will find from factory...

    Leaf spring question

    Those will hold the 440 just fine but are designed more towards autocross. If you are not too concerned with carving corners you would be better off with HD springs for about half the price. Check eaton or espo springs. In building for carving corners and went with hyperco composite springs and...
