Since my post on S&G Sport feel boxes wasn’t getting much response and their phone was busy when I called, I started browsing through threads and reading up on the Lares and Bergman boxes and have a couple of questions. Has anyone installed a Bergman (Borgeson) box on a stock 66 Hemi with TRW...

I’m wondering just how much heavier the “Sport” PS box is over the “Modern” effort box? Also are all of their power steering box firmness options all based on the same ratio gears and turns lock to lock. Or do they use a faster gear set in the Sport and Rally models? Not having much luck...

Planning to swap the manual steering over to power steering in my 66 Satellite with the one year only column. I’m trying to locate a proper shaft but not having much luck. I noticed on the Steer and Gear site they offer a complete conversion kit which has a note, instructions included on how...

I got nominated to press a friends new bushings and install new ball joints in these upper a-arm from a Challenger by virtue of having a 12 ton hydraulic press, a set of Mopar suspension tools and having rebuilt the front and rear suspensions on my 67. When I got home with them and looked them...

I’m a bit embarrassed to say that I only in the last couple days, checked the brake fluid on this car I bought last year. They told me they flushed the brakes before the car was picked up for shipping and I found there were so many other things needing obvious attention, that I figured the...

Does any one have a reference on a good quality master cylinder rebuild kit for the 66, single pot, manual brake master cylinder? I see a few old stock kits on eBay but I’m not crazy about putting 50 - 55 year old seals in mine. A Dorman kit part number for a kit would help, or for another...

I pulled my non-power, floor shift steering column out and I have a feeling it’s missing some parts. There seems to be nothing in the lower end of the column and the shaft just wiggles around loose in it past the upper bearing. There isn’t much info in the FSM that I have found. Surely there...

I’m sure they are noticeably firmer than the .92” bars for my 66 Hemi Satellite but are they still fairly compliant and not harsh? I’m not interested in an overly stiff ride but the Mopar .96” bars seem to be scarce right now. thanks

This is in reference to my earlier post on my 66 Satellite. Un-even front end height - 66 Satellite | For B Bodies Only Classic Mopar Forum May have found the issue with the uneven front height/bar adjustment. I went ahead and pulled both bars back out and it appears the one marked R was on...

Just received a new-to-me 66 Satellite and they have 235/70-15 tires mounted on it all around that are hitting the wheel lip trim when turning to lock. Front end is sitting to low anyway so jacked it up and planned to crank the torsion bars up a couple turns. Got under it and one adjuster was...

Helping a friend sort out his 69 Hemi Roadrunner with factory, power disc brakes. This is a rotisserie restoration and everything is new. Suddenly started having problems with front disc brakes staying on after pedal is released. It takes about 10 seconds after pedal is released before the...

I've been helping someone assemble a 69 Hemi Roadrunner - an original Hemi but heavily disassembled and sitting for years. Who he bought it from threw in in-correct LCAs when he gathered parts as they lacked the sway bar mounting brackets. He obtained a set of brackets and had them welded on...

Helping a friend trying to get his 69 Hemi Roadrunner up and running and tried to do a backyard front end alignment on it yesterday. He plans on getting a shop alignment but I thought I would get him reasonably close first. With my little camber/caster gage I got the camber set around 1/4 deg...

I've been busy rebuilding the front and rear suspensions on my GTX and decided to go ahead and replace the brake and fuel lines - which I've done except for the one across the firewall to the pass side front wheel. My car has PB and factory AC and it looks like it's going to be a major chore...

I'm about ready to begin assembling my rear axle and I'm still a bit confused over which gaskets go where at the wheel bearings. I suspect the gaskets that were in it when I took it apart were not completely correct. I found the foam gaskets. I assume they go between the brake backing plate...

I need a sanity check here. I'm reinstalling bushings in my upper control arms and my plan is (was) to install offset Moog bushings in the rear position to get more positive caster. I've already pressed standard bushings in the front. I got to looking at the rather brief instruction for...

Doing my first Mopar suspension overhaul. My shafts were a little worn around the front threaded area so I ordered some new shafts from PST. They are nicely machined but being unable to leave well enough alone I started comparing them to the originals. For the most part they are slightly...

Working on rebuilding the front and rear suspension systems and on the rear I need new U-bolts to secure the springs. I would like to use new shackles, although the original ones can be sandblasted and re-used. I cut the U-bolts off since the threads below the nut was pretty obscured by rust...

Although I've worked on GM suspensions a fair amount, rebuilding the front end on my GTX is the first Mopar effort. I'm sort of amazed at how the lower control arm is secured and functions. The LCA shaft presses into the LCA bushing and the shaft is bolted to the K-member - cantilevering the...

So I finally got the front suspension on my 67 GTX taken apart. Surprisingly most of the parts look pretty good and feel tight. The upper ball joints are MOOG and feel tight as do the lower ones. But I guess while it's apart I might as well put the new ones in. The only two areas that...
