This is a bit embarrassing but I was having one hell of a time installing new KYB rear shocks on my 62 today. 20 years ago it probably would have taken 10 minutes but I just don’t have the strength anymore to compress those damn things. I tried installing top first and bottom first but just cant...

Did some searching earlier for new strut rod bushings for my 62. From what I’ve seen they are simply rubber doughnuts - no metal sleeve, no male/female ends. Is this correct?? what holds them centered in the holes, just the washers?

I didn’t want to add this to my post of rear brakes grabbing so starting a new thread. This is a bit nit-picky but I would like to try understanding what I am seeing. Since trouble shooting the battle of my rear brakes heating up I bought an IR thermometer… while I believe my rear brake drag...

Anyone know if there was a change in the rear brake backing plates from pre 69 to post 69’ For 10” drums?If so do you have pictures of the later? i notice that the rear brake shoes that Rockauto sells changes from 68 - 69. I know the adjuster set up changes .

While replacing my ball joints yesterday on my 62 Fury I pulled a brake drum to check the pads. Found something that doesn’t look Right. While the pads were still thick they and the drums are pretty badly grooved indicating that whoever last changed the brakes probably didn’t turn the drums...

I’ve been searching and reading old threads but I’m still confused…. What size socket is needed for the upper ball joint on my 62 Fury? The TM says tool C-3560, which when I search for it I’m thinking it’s a 1 59/64”. I’ve seen posts saying 1 7/8”. Also, can the upper joint be removed without...

Just wondering what others with these tires are finding "ideal" for pressure - both on street and on the track? I have a set of 325x50-15s on my Savoy (10" wheels) and have been running around 24 psi on the street. Anything less seems a big "squishy" and more seems to run too much on the...
