    Steering center link not parallel to the chassis?

    This does not look right. The center link is higher at the idler arm. This car has a Borgeson steering box on it. Looks to me like something is a miss.

    69 RR leaf springs to return to stock ride height

    I have heard much good about ESPO Springs, contacted them for a price and they have 2 choices for me. They are for my 69 RR convertible with a Pro Charged 528 Hemi. auto trans, and Dana axle. It is not a drag car, it's a street cruiser now, although it tends to get very violent during hard...

    Installing the wrong steering box the right way

    I got a reman box for my 73 Charger from Advance Auto for $180. That is the cheapest I could find. I know, you get what you pay for, but realize the value of a 73 B body. I do not want to spend a ton on the car, I want it to be reliable, safe, and no leaks. The box I saw pictured online was the...

    How much caster is too much?

    As much as you can get is what I have read. I bought this Tenhulzen alignment system. It is a couple of plates with some stand offs to touch the wheel rim, not the tire, and it comes with a digital angle meter. I have aligned my 72 Charger before using an angle meter app on my phone with some...

    Can a proportioning valve be recentered?

    1973 Charger. The electrical switch on the proportioning valve is closed turning on the brake warning light. Removed the switch and it checks good, toggles from open to closed when plunger is depressed. Looking through the switch hole I can see the spool, and it is off center. Is there any way...

    Shimming the K-frame to add caster angle

    Adding more positive caster angle is better, we all know that. How to do it is the hard part. So what would be the downside of shimming the rear two mounts on the K-frame? Lowering the rear of the K-frame maybe 3/16" of an inch will add positive caster, or will it not?

    73 Charger KYB Shock absorber choices

    I ordered most of the suspension bushings for the 73 from Rock Auto and I got a pair of KYB Gas A Just shocks for the rear. Placing another order on Rock Auto I wanted the Same Gas A Just shocks for the front. Come to find out they dont make them for the front. I emailed KYB asking about that...

    Do it yourself front wheel alignment

    I am going to give this a shot. My 73 Charger needs new bushings and steering components, they are all half worn out. So whatever damage I do is temporary and a learning experience. Tires are crap too. Doing some internet research it doesn't look that hard. I have a pair of home made slide...

    1973 Charger, rebuilding the suspension

    The 73 and later B body's have an isolated suspension. This gives a much nicer ride then pre 73's had. I have to rebuild the suspension on my 73, all the bushings are shot. I am thinking to use poly bushings on the control arms and stabilizer bars for a better control. Use stock rubber bushings...

    Rear brake shoes, axle seals, and gear lube.

    The 73 I recently picked up had all new brakes on the rear at some time in the past. Too bad they didn't replace the leaking axle seals when they put brakes on it. The shoes were soaked in gear lube. Cleaned up all the hardware, and have a pair of axle seals coming from Summit racing with a new...

    Steering coupler free play

    How much free play is normal within the steering coupler? If I hold the coupler with one hand and the steering column shaft with the other and rotate them opposite of each other, there is just a hair of free play in it. I removed the steering coupler from the car, disassembled and cleaned it...
