Had the 67 up on a lift at a friends place (great friend to have!) to troubleshoot some front end clunking. Didn't take long to find out that my lower control arm bushings are pretty much gone, and the whole control arm is slopping around at the joint. The holes have ovalized and now they lower arms are ju...

hey guys, can someone clear this question i have... are the traction bars supposed to touch my frame at all times, or are they designed to move a little?? on the left side, i can usually see about a half inch of space between rubber and frame, but on the right its even more, sometimes as much as an inch or two...

While washing the car yesterday, I noticed something peculiar. Passenger side front wheel well, tire sits great inside well and u can see entire tire, but on drivers side, the tire is obstructed by about two inches from the wheel well, like its been lowered!

so I changed my front brakes from manual drums with a dual style master to the SSBC manual disc,it stops a lot staighter,but still required a lot of pedal effort. So I put in a power booster and new dual master, but you still have too push pretty darn hard to slow down quickly. The kit came with a adjustible...

Does anybody have a picture with the body mount measurement for a 64-67 A-body frame? Center to center and a criss-cross would be nice. I need to be able to email the picture. I'm hoping the Guru's will have something. Thanks, Paul.

So I'm re-installing my rear suspension and I'm wondering if the bushings and arms are to be installed so that they [the tapered biushings] point towards the driveshaft from the outside of the car or does it matter? In other words should they mirror each other as in left and right? Took this all...

This may seem silly since I'm sure I have all the info at home, but can someone tell me if a 67 Beaumont/Chevelle hardtop and sedan share the same wheelbase?
