Positive mental attitude.

Yup, you are right about that. Go into a job expecting trouble and guess what you'll find every time. Go into it with the attitude that you'll figure out anything that presents itself and you will figure it out.

I replaced the Charger's bushings and added a rear anti sway bar kit that was available. Having grown up on old car roll I was impressed what modern materials can do. I drives like it's on rails today.

I need to do some rear suspension work on my 69 Spider. Everything on that car has been rebuilt except for the rear suspension. It's got new springs and nice Koni's but they are all held together through 54 year old bushings and one of the trailing arms is noticably bent from where someone probably tried to jack the car incorrectly.

good morning y’all

While you guy are working on some cool cars, I’ll be looking into fixing up my old car for my daughters first car. Nothing fancy just a 2012 Malibu.

I wasn’t palanning on working on it today, but it sounds like a CZ car day.

Bushings done. Top bolt has restricted access due to gas tank. That bolt broke on the passenger side. Thought I was going to have to drop the tank to extract. Nope, found by removing the control arm there was a nut welded to the inside of the crossmember. Purposely broke that nut off that contained the broken bolt. Saved me lots of additional time.

IIRC (and I might not) some bushings spec to be tightened under their intended load, others tightened, unloaded. Been a long time since I sold auto parts so YMMV. It ought to make a positive difference when you're done.

These bushings can be either. The sway bar will rotate inside them as the suspension travels.

Come on give us a front and side shot of that classic.
My dad had a 1969 Charger RT it had the 440 in it, and stick shift. I believe he said he had a Hurst shifter as well.

I’m sorry but I’ll need to stop by and verify this is a true statement.

Not a clue. If I look on Gunbroker and few online retails that I know to be legit - it seems like a good deal but I don't know what street prices are on them.

It is an Italian made gun so it is a given that it is quality.
