The MA805's were totally wrong and the MA717's have the right mounts but seem to be twisted 15 degrees or so. Is this how the shocks are supposed to be because the rusty old ones don't seem to have this twist fom mount to mount. Has any body ordered any lately that would have the correct model number?:confused: There isn't a way to modify the degree of twist out of the shock is there. Should I just punt with NAPA and get them somewhere else. Any insight would help, Thanks. ]]> colby http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/custom-aftermarket-suspension-handling/18156-shock-matchup.html http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/custom-aftermarket-suspension-handling/18016-afr-gearbox.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:23:30 GMT Has anyone used the AFR 12:1 steering gearbox sold at Summit Racing. I would like to upgrade to a tighter gearbox on my 68 442. I don't want to spend the money on a rack and pinion. ]]> jj1965 http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/custom-aftermarket-suspension-handling/18016-afr-gearbox.html http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/custom-aftermarket-suspension-handling/18013-poly-bushings.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:46:45 GMT just put new poly bushings on my 66 starfire what a MAJOR differance it made verses stand rubber ones real big diff just put new poly bushings on my 66 starfire what a MAJOR differance it made verses stand rubber ones real big diff ]]> steve walker http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/custom-aftermarket-suspension-handling/18013-poly-bushings.html http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/custom-aftermarket-suspension-handling/17767-possible.html Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:03:20 GMT :confused:I don't even know if its possible but i've yet to find a fab shop that could shave a little off of the inside hub of a pair of rims i have. The rims are 10in wide and stick out about an inch past the fender arch. there is almost 3 inches of space between the tire and the frame(of course this is on the rear). So i'm looking for a shop that could possible shave a little off of the inside hub of my rim so that it will sit inside the wheel well and not stick out. In my opinion i think i have ample enough metal on the back of the hub to shave just an inch off but does any one know of some one who could do this? ]]> Charlie_brown http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/custom-aftermarket-suspension-handling/17767-possible.html http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/custom-aftermarket-suspension-handling/17494-coil-spring-help.html Mon, 26 Oct 2009 04:00:01 GMT autozone list front coil springs for a 1974 olds 98 with a 455 but not for a 1973 olds 98 whickh i have,,,Wouldnt the springs be the same?

And since... Well, i was working on the front suspension on my Jetstar today, and I see that it is not going to be low enough for me with just air bags. And since I want to convert to disc brakes up front, I think the best thing to do is get a drop spindle and then do the disc swap at the same time as the bags. I think I should be able to get a-body ball joints for a chevelle, and swap them into my arms, then get the chevelle drop spindles and disc setup. am I thinking right, or will those ball joints not work in my arms? Am I right about the Jetstar being an a-body? ]]> bourbon http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/custom-aftermarket-suspension-handling/17493-front-suspension-swap-64-jetstar-88-a.html
