As I'll be repacking the front bearings on my '63, figured it would be a time to replace the shocks. I've searched some previous posts on this subject and see Bilstein's' suggested a few times. Any additional recommendations or confirmations here before I make the selection? Thanks

I'm in the process of replacing my truck box and fenders on my '05 Dakota AWD/4x4. Got a rust-free bed and re-pop fenders. While I have the box off the truck, will be blasting the frame and coating it...checking on some things to do while it's off. Among the items is putting on new rear...

Having my '63 Fury up on a lift swapping out mufflers, we noticed the axle stops probably should be at least an inch or more thicker. There's indication of some contact on the pipes that a larger stop might avoid. 3" doesn't help. I have HD springs and likely should replace the the shocks...

I posted while back about the steering linkage (left side only) on my '63 Plymouth striking the T-bar and header. (This is another slant on this out of curiosity, not regurgitating my old post.) The motor was rebuilt with new mounts, headers, and FFII box installed. Getting the car on a lift...

I had a FFII box put in my '63 poly and have around 2,000 or so miles on it. Discovered problems (as photo'd) with the left link hitting the torsion bar and center link dragging across the TTI header. I'm of course wondering how this came to be. Have sifted the net to find install instructions...

For early B poly's, headers are a challenge for clearance; but costly TTI's guaranteed a fit. Well, on my '63 Fury after complete engine rebuild by a reputable shop, come to find there are or have been clearance issues upon getting it on an alignment rack for a safety check. The cross linkage...

The saga goes on: I've posted before about the on going brake gremlins and so far little success. I have problems with pedal sink and have put in a working booster (7" mine is 8") until some decade the new one I ordered arrives. Now, after bench bleeding the MC, entire system (like 3 times)...

This is another post about my age-old brake demon and figured I'd post a new one that gets to a particular matter to keep things simpler. I'm thinking one or more has the smarts on this pedal ratio thing. I converted from front drums to disks and manual to power. I gather that the pedal arm...

I posted earlier on some reasons why the brake pedal sinks; my '63 has a front brake disc kit in it with booster converting to power brakes. Had to re-do the brake pedal as it was real high cutting down the push rod and installing a better eyebolt. Pedal sinks when starting the car until...

Thought I'd post about an odd problem in case one of ya's may have encountered this and have some advice: When my Plymouth gets a nice long run it develops a squeak when I turn the steering wheel more so turning it right than left; though will do it left as well. My '63 has power steering...

I had a disc brake conversion done on my '63 Plymouth about two years ago adding power brakes. When driving the car the pedal seeps down intermittently and won't return fully unless pulling the pedal back. Seems to hold for a while then same thing happens. A little pumping action will bring...

My Dakota all wheel drive developed a problem where steering feels like a 4x4 is engaged on dry roads. My shop said it needed fluid changed so did that and zero fix. Researching the possible problems on the net I get to the steering column U-joints/intermediate shaft being the culprit more...

My '05 Dak AWD with 67k on it has started steering harder like the binding feel you get with an engaged 4wd on dry pavement. It gives a lot of resistance when turning l or r. Shop said I need the system's oil changed (special oil from Dodge) and that was done...except no difference. I've done...

As I'm back to this fix-it project my '63 Plymouth had a power-disk brake system installed 3 years ago. A lot of reworking was necessary as the pedal height was all goofed up among a few cosmetic issues I've fixed. The pedal remains a problem after getting it adjusted so it was a foot brake and...

A disc brake conversion I had done left me with many problems to rework such as the pedal height and brake switch contact among other things. The conversion included manual to power brakes. I thought I got it pretty close; but the pedal return (full return) remained an irritation. I took the...

I had a brake conversion install done that then required hours of correcting the pedal travel, return, height adjustment, some new linkage, etc. to get it to be reasonably comfortable with a firm-feel. Success was finally achieved...for awhile. Now the pedal sometimes won't return fully...

I've had a long time issue with the steering not returning to straight coming out of turns without having to turn the wheel. Since I've installed radial tires there is a "wandering" side to side effect. I'm not sure if this may be related matter. A knowledgeable member directed me to check...
