Question on Mopar front suspension
 

I am about to start rebuilding the front suspension and steering on my 67 cuda. Re there ant preferred control arm bushings and balljoints to make the front end work better for launch?

Thanks

If you have the budget and only want the best, contact Kim Rhoads in Pa....I don't have his number, but I'm sure someone does.

Re: Question on Mopar front suspension
 

If you have the money and wish to do it right, switch it over to any A body after 1967. They are different and stronger (better engineering).

K member and related parts bolt right in. Also, as I recall, there are a few race related front control arms that are better and have better bushings.
:D

Re: Question on Mopar front suspension
 

Yes, the idler arms after 67 are better and much easier to find.

Good luck!

any year after 67 as far as the control arms and related parts?

Re: Question on Mopar front suspension
 

The 1967 idler arm has a stud on the pivot end and the K-member has one tab. I replaced the idler arm on my 1967 Dart and it seemed like it needed replaced again within a couple of years. I'm going to replace the whole K-member and suspension with disc brakes from a 1973 340 Duster with the spool engine mounts. I'd probably switch to the 1973-6 spool mount K-member. The sway bar is different as it goes through the K-member. I'm not sure if the 1968-1972 idler arm could be adapted by welding on another tab for a double shear arrangement with a thru bolt?

P M me

Re: Question on Mopar front suspension
 

Has anyone replaced bushings with bearing like the Cheby guys?

Re: Question on Mopar front suspension
 

Yes I have, lca with bronze bushing in a steel housing and uca with aluminum-steel bushings. Both have grease fittings. Hope they work, definately free moving. If they don't I'll re-engineer till they do. Pictures for $10,000 LOL

Re: Question on Mopar front suspension
 

where did you acquire these?

Re: Question on Mopar front suspension
 

You need to contact Kim Rhoads in Pa. He makes what you're looking for. I wanna say the whole kit's about a grand.

Re: Question on Mopar front suspension
 

At 1K, i will have to think about it.

Re: Question on Mopar front suspension
 

I made them.

Re: Question on Mopar front suspension
 

maybe I should have asked what is included with the "kit" from KR

Re: Question on Mopar front suspension
 

it is all about the strut bar don't waist your money on other parts the lower arms ride free buy off set control arm bushing for more caster and your good to go I stand my car on the bumper all stock parts its all about the sturt bars being loose

Re: Question on Mopar front suspension
 

Is there a chance we can talk voice?

Re: Question on Mopar front suspension
 

If the strut bars are loose, would it change the tow setting from in to out under braking?

Re: Question on Mopar front suspension
 

I think he means not loose but free to move? Correct? I'm all ears.

Re: Question on Mopar front suspension
 

So can someone post a contact for Kim? I can not locate one. Thanks.

Re: Question on Mopar front suspension
 

Talked with him today, out of stock and no longer making them.
