WTB: strut rods for 72 Barracuda

[Moparal]

I got 2 sets pulled. It seems both on the left had a bend to them, the rights seemed straight.  I just today pulled this one set off of the k member.  I am not sure if they were all like that, but I'd bet they were not.  so I will send you this straight one and refund the rest of your money on the difference.  One right had buger threads so I have just the 1.   sorry about the other.

Ok, thanks.

I think just the one of mine is actually bent.....will have to check.....

They are all the same, right? So mixxing wont matter?

[Moparal]

mixong dont matter, same lft n rt

[shadango]

I just rechecked mine.

The driver side is bent, for sure.....the passenger side, not nearly as much, but it too has a little curve at the last 4 inches or so of each end.

How much bend is acceptable or do they really need to be ram-rod straight?

I know they are adjustable to some degree....depending on how you tighten the nuts at each end and how they would be turned....right?

Just trying to not install any bad parts the first time around.

Good question. I was wondering if it assited the caster settings myself.   Im gonna look on my car really close tomorrow and see what mine look like. Then I will let you know what I find before I ship this one.  My cars goes straight as an areo and has zero front end issues

if its that important !  buy some new ones at mancini racing , dont eand ebodys have alignment problems anyway . why risk the tires?

I doubt that it will be obvious to see looking at the rods installed......unless you have a bend in the middle of one of them.  Mine didnt look bent at all until i started turning the one....the other looked fine til I got it off and found one end slightly tweaked....

My guess is that unless its REALLY bent it probbaly isnt a huge issue....

New ones at Mancini are $115.....I am overbudget now on my rebuild LOL so was trying to get good straight used ones to save some green and avoid potential issues.

save some green and avoid potential issues.

Sometimes it is hard to accomplish both at the same time. 

[shadango]

aint that the truth....LOL

Moparal, let me know if you checked out the one you were sending me to be sure it was straight....if so, and it went out already, I will be looking for a second one.....

[Moparal]

Everything is setting here till tomorrow. USPS was cloosed and so was the shipping people we had.  The one I have is straight, but you can make up your mind what you want to do

[shadango]

Hey Moparal....

Can you hold off on sending this?  If I cant get both stock ones, I may just spring for a set of new ones from Mancini or Dixie.....

[shadango]

Hey Moparal....

I just pulled the trigger on a set of adjustable/no bushing bars from capauto.

Thanks anyways!
