Question: I just bought a 1974 Dodge Dart, and the biggest problem appears to be a >sagging front suspension (betcha coulda guessed if you know 70’s mopars).. Can >this be adjusted to some extent (to where the tires at least stand straight)? >Or if not, how much would the parts cost to repair this? >Thanks.

Answer: Many late 60’s and early 70’s A-body Chrysler products had a problem with the rear mount for the torsion bar. Water collects in the channel and rust occurs. After a decade or so the channel that the mount is welded into rusts through and the mount twists and that side of the car falls onto the rebounce (sp?) bumper. If this is what happened you will need to find a local frame/suspension/alignment shop that has someone who has welded in new material to replace the rusted stuff and then realign the ride height when done.
