    UCA Identification - not quite right.

    Ok, so the UCAs were rusted out on my car. I bought a used set off fleabay, disassembled, blasted, painted (closer to natural) pressed in eccentric bushings (based on other posts) and thought all was good. I went to install the ball joint - bought plenty as part of the crazy low prices on...

    Are 11" brakes desirable?

    All, I bought another 70 K-Frame & suspension. Why - well honestly it's a bit of addiction :) I spotted it online from a 70 Charger Big Block. I noticed the drums looked in decent shape and it still had the anti-vibration springs. I thought they'd be nice to have and a few spare parts and sell...

    A couple front suspension questions

    All, a couple first timer questions 1. Wondering if my sway bar bushing retainer brackets are bent or are they supposed to lean? 2. The new strut bar bushings (Moog) are so much taller than the old ones. About 1/2 taller than the inner sleeve. Is that normal? Do the smush down that far over...

    Must need new Pivot Pins?

    Ok, so I bought new Moog LCA bushings from Craig at mobile parts and using the original LCAs and pivot pin from my 70 Charger. One pin pressed in and seems right, the other pin slides in and out - no pressing required. I have a set of 68 Charger LCAs that I've cleaned up and same results. One...

    Still a metal sleeve to be removed?

    All, am I crazy or is there another metal sleeve I still need to remove. The one with the gap is off a 68, the other is off a 70. I don't want to damage them, but that outer "sleeve", if it is a sleeve, seems to line up with the inner metal sleeve on my new bushings. Just want to confirm...

    WTH - Rant on Steer & Gear Experience

    So I sent my Steering Gearbox, Pittman Arm, Idler Arm, High Pressure Hose and Pump to Steer and Gear. They specified to send the pump separately and pack it well as it's heavy. All seemed to go well, I paid last week and they shipped back Monday - received a box on Wednesday. I received the...

    LCA Identification

    Good morning, I recently bought a front suspension out of a 68 charger to use some of the parts on my 70 Charger (steering knuckles, etc). I noticed the sway bar tab was located more towards the wheel on the 68s - is that normal? Trying to make sure my 70s are correct and then understand what...

    Steer & Gear Rebuild Feel

    I'm going to have Steer and Gear rebuild the gearbox and pump. They gave me the 4 options below but since I have zero clue what it felt like originally (brother never let me drive it 40 years ago before it was parked due to rust) I'm not sure which I should choose. 1970 Charger SE 383HP Auto...

    Tag Decode: Is B51 Disc Brakes?

    All, I have a 70 Charger I'm working on, and based on the Fender Tag I was expecting B51 to be Power Assist Disc Brakes. Am I decoding it wrong? The brakes clearly are Drums (2nd Pic). Is there something else to check to see if it was converted to Drums? My brother owned it for 40+ years I have...
