A trick I was taught is to get some sticky grease and cover the spring inside the lip and it will help it from popping off when pressing in.

Keep the updates coming.

Back at it Sunday, no pictures but I filled the diff with friction modifier & gear oil. Cleaned up all the brake parts and installed them. Installed the shocks. I also replaced the fuel hard line (tank to pump) and all the rubber too with new clamps. It was a bitch because I had to modify it to get it insatlled because the car has US Cartool subframe connectors in it.

This is the drivers lower, the passenger side isnt quite as bad.

Disassembly - unfortunately I will have to buy front shocks for it.

Possibly is, the nuts are definetely OEM

But you haven't lived til you had to do this to remove upper control arms..

Or found this once out...

Yes I would say it was about due for a rebuild Jeff. C

Good time to inspect for cracks in the K frame.

RE: Rear-end Re-fresh - 67440Dodge - 08-30-25

You going poly or rubber bushings?

RE: Rear-end Re-fresh - theman440 - 09-03-25

I'm going rubber Mike.

RE: Rear-end Re-fresh - theman440 - 09-05-25

Did you notice this car has a gray K-member - ive seen a few cars with 'em. Does yours?

Yay I won!

I need to thank dad for helping me from the grave again, I used this sleeve from his old ball joint press to press out the upper bushings.

All the suspension parts are painted black, Im' sure my dad did it back in '79 or '80. NOBODY was into factory colors/finishes back then. I'm gonna try my best to replicate the factory colors on everthing.
