Time to rebuild my rear leaf shackles. Any recommendations on how much of the hardware to replace and what mfg kit to buy and where? There’s a ton of stuff out there. Looking for best OE fit and not needing high performance. Thank you, MF

Is the vacuum level on a power brake system proportional to the power applied to the brakes? Meaning does a higher vacuum level increase the assist? Or another will a low vacuum signal lower the level of assist? Or another way to ask is will the brakes with an 20Hg signal have more assist than...

Sorry for the long text here but wanted to explain the issue as best I could…. I am having some brake issues, namely I feel that I’m not getting any power assist. I believe it’s potentially a mismatch of master cylinder, bore size and rear cylinder bore size as I believe the brakes were working...

Was wondering how the auto adjuster works on my rear brakes and what keeps the adjuster from getting too tight? I am talking about the rear drums on my 1970. They are new and after setting them by hand and not having any binding I did some reverse drives and applied the brakes to snug them up...

Whats an acceptable amount of backlash in my steering? Is the typical source of backlash in the gearbox? If so is there any adjustment or is a rebuild in order if the backlash is too much? Is backlash the right term? Is it measured typically in degrees or total travel in inches? Thanks for...

Anybody know if this will fit my 1970 BBody Satellite? They are indicated for later models 1979-1992. But they look similar very similar. Or was there a design change that makes them non compatible?

Can some one tell me what type of bolt (more specifically what head type) is used for mounting the rear flex brake line Y distribution block to the axle? I have to feel for it and can't see it.

I don’t have a picture after tightening down the pitman arm to the box but I DID notice that the pitman arm did NOT slide all the way up the spline of the steering box. Is this typical guys? The picture kinda shows this but after I snugged the nut up it did draw the arm up and in more than what...

So I have the factory service manual and I have even watched the Chrysler slide projector training on this but I have a few questions regarding PS back lash adjustment. Actually I am having an issue and that is I have loosened the 5/8 nut around the 3/16 hex adjuster screw but can not budge the...

Hi OK well I put a new PS Pump in and a new line. Now I have a leak at the top of the steering box hi presure line in I believe (see pic). I removed and inspected and it looked fine. I used some teflon tape and rethreaded and tightened it down. Still leaks! Any suggestions? These don’t use...

1970 Sport Satellite with small block. Currently has front disc’s (large single cylinder caliper) and rear drums. The tag indicates 4-way drums so I believe the car has been upgraded. Original MC was a single reservoir. Thats all I know about this brake system history. The MC was upgraded to a...

Hi old shocks in back new ones in front on my 70 Soort Sat. Want to lower the front like 4 inches. I have not adjusted the torsion bars before. What kind of travel can I get out of the adjustment on stock bars?

Well for those that have seen all the issues I have run into in getting this B-Body going another system (the brakes) will need some work I bet. The car has sat for a long indeterminate amount of time. Master cylinder was low so I topped it off. With the car not running the pedel was hard and I...

OK so unknown history with car. Car has been sitting for several years. Its my 1970 Sport Satellite which has power brakes with front discs. I don’t have the engine running yet. All four wheels spin free. When I step on the brake its does not compress at all and feels hard as a rock. Feels...
