    Reproduction Tires

    How have your experiences been with reproduction bias-ply tires? When I get my 72 Newport back together, it will need a new set of tires. I like the ride of Hankook tires on one of my other cars, but i'm not a fan of how they look. I've been looking at Coker tires this time...

    Odd master cylinder issue

    1972 Chrysler Newport. Yesterday, some genius pulled out in front of me and I had a hard stop. "BRAKES" idiot light came on for a second then went away. I pulled into a parking lot, and started simple. I checked fluid first. It is a dual master with power disc brakes. When I checked fluid, the...

    Is it possible to grease front bearings without dissassembling everything?

    1972 Newport. I'm fairly sure that my front wheel bearings are in need of grease. Is there any possible way to add grease without taking all of it apart? Would a grease gun with a needle make it possible?

    Decent steering gear rebuild?

    Does anyone know of a decent place to buy a steering gear (72 Newport) or rebuild? I have heard that the ones on rockauto are no good. I don't want firmfeel, I want the original true steering.

And when it rains, the brakes tend to lock up!:wideyed: I have slid into an intersection once, and nearly hit someone twice! Its scared the crap out of me...

    Wheel bearings?

    My 72 Newport has this whirring sound coming from the rear axle when I drive. It seems to get somewhat louder as I go faster. It comes from both sides. It was there when I bought the car in September, but I think it is getting louder. I was told by one person that it sounded like wheel bearings...

    1972 Newport steering issue

    Howdy all, I finally had a nice enough day to jack my 72 newport off the ground and peek around at steering components. For those of you that don't know, the problem is wandering at high speeds. After jacking up, I wiggled both front tires at 6 and 12 o'clock and 3 and 9. No play whatsoever...

    P/S slow leak at top of steering gear

    I have a 1972 Newport. Some of you may have seen my other posts. I adjusted my steering gear recently because of excessive slack. This did fix the slack problem. However after jacking the car up and looking at the underneath I noticed it had a leak. I tried to trace the point it came from and I...
