Merry Christmas all! I think I've finally given in to a disc swap based on lots of posts here and the Disc O Tech article. Four years ago, I rebuilt everything from master cylinder to lines, to wheel cylinders, drums, etc. from mostly NOS parts. I did experience the incorrect shoe lining post...

Finally took my 70 Runner to a local alignment shop yesterday. This place has a very good local reputation and was even recommended by a few custom shops out here. Background — I redid the front end in my garage with a kit from DrDiff and also upgraded to power steering because my shoulder is...

Just got some NOS rear 11 inch drums. Can anyone tell me if these are cracked or normal? There is a crack in the front edge and the line between the center and front surface looks like it’s coming apart. Normal or send back? Thanks!!!

So I’ve literally almost worked all bugs out of my 70 rr after new drum brakes. But this weekend I’ve been struggling with shuddering at high speed slow down and I hear a scraping sound when coming to a stop after 5 or so miles. I pulled the drum and there are high spots on the pad. My Oem...

I know these are really hard to find, a pair just became available. I've got a few sets so I wanted to pass this along... Moog K7026 Suspension Strut Rod Bushing Kit - Front | eBay

Getting car back together and I was adjusting ride height on my 70 RR. Looks like my tie rod grease fittings just barely clear the torsion bar. I did upgrade to hemi torsion bars and I’m wondering if pitman arm is not tall enough. I upgraded to power steering but with Oem Lares rebuild box...

So I'm trying to convince myself to pitch this -- I cleaned it up, wire wheel, sanded it, but it still looks like it's really been used/safety issue. I could scratch of the paint and small layers of rust came with it before I cleaned it. I try to stay as original as possible, but this thing is...

Question for all of the gurus! I got a complete kit for suspension rebuild and the lower ball joint bolt is a "little" loose in the lower control arm hole. It moves a tiny bit back and forth. When the castle nut is tight, it does not move. I had an older moog ball joint and the fit is very...

I got a pair of Hemi rated torsion bars that have the correct 980/981 markings on them. I know that I'll put them in the same orientation of the numbers, but one end is painted white and the other end is painted black on both bars. Any specific way they go in? Does the white end go in the LCA...

I normally spend days trying to find parts without posting here, but I can not seem to find new stock strut rods for my 70 RR. My all around brake job spiraled into front end as well and the only thing that I have not replaced are the strut rods themselves. I've purchased all stock parts and...

I decided to get a front end rebuild kit and ordered the backing plate / lower ball joint bolts bolt/nuts as well. But the newer bolt seems to not have a hole for the cotter pin and has a newer lock style nut instead of a castle nut. Forgive me since I've not rebuilt a suspension since 1985...

So I decided to stick with my 11x3 front drums since I plan on having more of a cruiser. The existing drums have a little meat left on them, but I noticed that ECS sells replacement 11" outer drum brake springs. So I figured I'd see what is available in current aftermarket drums -- I found...
