    power steering system bleeding

    OK, so I went ahead and replaced my power steering box again, because I was having some issues with pressure. This was due to the fact that one of the cheap plastic plugs they uses for shipping got jammed in one of the fluid holes and was most certainly blocking the flow of fluid. So, after...

    front shock nut tightening

    This may have been asked, but i'm busy at the moment so can't do a search. How tight should the front shock upper nut be tightened? It didn't seem like it should be really torqued down, but that is probably wrong. Car: 70 Sport Fury. Thanks.

    strut rod nut pt 2

    I'm having a hard time getting the strut rod nuts ON the end that sits in the lower control arm. Are these reverse thread? I can't remember from the time I took them off. Don't want to mess them up. If they are not reverse thread and I continue to not be able to get them on, what are my...

    front brake hose removal - tips needed

    I need to replace my front brake hoses before putting my suspension back together. The hose is removed from the backing plate. It's still connected to the bracket and brake lines. It's a 70 SF and a drum brake car. I was wondering if anyone had any tips/strategy/sequence of events for...

    strut rod to sway bar bushing P/N

    So, I noticed during my suspension rebuild that I don't have the large-ish bushings that are on my strut rods. They are an odd shape, with one side almost flat. The best I can surmise, the replacement part number for MOOG is K7064. Is this correct? Because the MOOGs are pretty circular in...

    separating steering column from box

    OK, so I have a stupid question. I'm a little confused as to where the pin is that I'm supposed to remove to separate the steering column from the steering box. Also, what is the best method to remove it? 70 SF is the car in question. Any pics and advice would be helpful. Thanks.

    Phoenix area - need referral

    I'm looking to have the bushings pressed out and new ones installed in my upper and lower control arms. Having a hard time finding a shop in the Phoenix area who will do it. Arms are out of the car, so shouldn't be that difficult of a job. Please let me know if you know anyone. Thanks.

    235 70 or 235 75, that is the question

    What do you think is better on a 70 SF? The original H70-15 tires seem to have a height of 28.1". 235 70 are 27.95". 235 75 are 28.88". I keep seeing differing opinions on which is better. I didn't even think about the 235 70s until someone mentioned them this AM in another post. About to...

    torsion bar seals - where to buy?

    Does anyone know where I can get the correct torsion bar end seals? DMT sells the smaller diameter (part # 2071173). Our C-bodies use part # 2269250 for the larger diameter torsion bars. Thanks

    Polyglas

    Not sure I've ever heard of the Goodyear Custom Power Cushion Polyglas. They really went all out with the RWL sizing. I am still considering going with some G70-15 RWL Polyglas when my 70 SF is done. I just like the period correct look. Drift be damned. I'm driving a 1970 car like it's...

    Rebuilding front suspension

    So I'm in the process of tearing stuff down on the 70 SF to get it ready for paint. I have both front wheel wells out to get plaster and powder coated. As you know, you get a good look at stuff with them out. And looking at it I'm now contemplating buying a kit rebuilding the front suspension...

    steering box removal & installation

    OK, so it looks like I'm going to tackle replacing the power steering gear box myself. Would have been obviously way easier if it was done before the engine was put in, but it wasn't. In any event, does anyone have any pointers/tips on stuff I should do prior to removal or the best way to pull...
