Front/rear bars on an a-body. QA1 upper/lowers/strut rod in front. Rebuilt steering column! Handles like a dream. Careful, as the car now remains level as you straighten the curves, if rear tires are too tall they may fold over and rub spring a tad.

Did it on my 62 with these parts: Adjustable Proportioning Valve Mopar Aluminum Master Cylinder Kit

Bad new shoes. See the link I posted, I went through the same exact thing. Shoes look and measure identical, but they're not.

Rear Brakes Lock Up when Wheels Go On?

My a-body came with traction bars when I got it, pretty much a day 2 car with some ad ons. They did not bolt to the springs, they were the shock mount/leaf plates. I imagine they did nothing to help with traction, and probably did no harm to the springs. I took them off, but would like to put...

If keeping the old, or even putting a new mc on, put sandpaper on a flat surface, I've used a piece of metal on a workbench or even glass in the past, flip the mc over onto the sandpaper and sand it until it is smooth, then sand it some more. Clean the cap and mc inside and out. Get a roll of...

With the front tires off the ground, I loosened the two bolts and it wouldn't budge at all, left, right, back, forth, nothing. Tried a small prybar with a tiny amount of force, nothing. It did leak a little fluid. Tightened the bolts back down, started car, wheels still off the ground, steering...

I did a rough alignment today and all if a sudden it's pulling to the right. Wheels off the ground, steering wheel goes all the way to the right from any starting point. Didn't pull to the right at all before today. Everything is new, just over 300 miles on car. Can someone post a visual of...

When I bought mine the Proforged stuff was less expensive, and more better. Also bought their sleeves too.

Sounds like something is bent out of shape or worn out. I have 2 cars with these with no issues.

Yes. Loosen both ends, adjust, tighten.

I cut mine open and welded the front of the LCA tube to the k-frame from the inside, as it's not attached there. Not sure why the kits include a washer for the rear hole but leave the front hanging.

I put these on my 62.

+1 Espos. I also have the 2 hole front spring hangers, mounted in lower hole, was going to move them to upper hole but after staring at it for a few months, I like it where it is now. Car is probably a little high in front, but still adding parts, will adjust final ride when done, but I think it...

My 64 had the same power drums, I was lucky as a friend had bought out a parts store way back and had 4 sets of shoes. Up until then, even with a rebuilt booster, new '65 drums all around, and a dual circuit master, the new shoes would shine up the drums and it wouldn't stop. Pull the drums...

Project Larry - 62 Dart 440

You know, I guessed the same in post #57, that the upper part was too long and therefore not up against the top pin as far as it needed to be. My reasoning was, since removing the lower adjuster allowed the drum to spin, but putting in the shorter adjuster did not, it had to be wider at the top...

Received the new shoes, on the left in pic. Drums fit fine now, no issues. I compared the old to the new, set them on top of each other and in the drum. The visible differences on the new ones: I had to open the e-brake bracket hole up a bit. The middle and upper contacts that rub on the...

Put a little wd-40 on the bushings and push them in the frame and spring. Slide the front spring bolts in. Leave the u-bolts off or lose, but put the rearend on the spring pins. Slip the rear shackles in and tighten down. Tighten the front bolt. Put the u-bolts on and torque.

I'm going to check the original shoes, and the shoes on the other car, and see if they match, some shoes have holes for the springs and things in different places or different sizes/shapes. I don't have an e-brake, the rear cables are in the backing plates but that's it, there's no tension on...
