E-Bodies.org Cuda Challenger Forum

She's due for some fresh everything and by not knowing the history of what and when anything was replaced, it's time to do it all.   
I'm hearing some squeaks and creaks that make me pucker up,
so I'm looking to see if there's anyone offering a complete steering setup package. 

I have a 73 Cuda 340... :unitedstates:..     
Is there anything special or specific about years of car vs steering parts?
Anything like ordering something from a newer year or older year that's beefier or adds to the performance of the car?

Thanks.   

Well I would start with Dave @ Roseville as he will apply a discount
Second Rock Auto also has everything you need & offers a discount
3rd would be PST , no discount though

You can probably beat the prices buying individually through Rockauto

I hear the pitman arm can be an issue as they changed the output shaft size in later years & folks have replaced the original with an earlier model setup so you might want to check exactly what you have. 

  One popular upgrade I've read about is to use C-body tie rod ends & the larger adjusting sleeve, http://www.hotrodreference.com/585/mopar-1116-tie-rod-upgrade/

Max your castor ..many folks use the Moog problem solver UCA bushings to get more than standard replacements

Before replacing your disc brake rotors you might want to look into this upgrade
this article covers many years bu on a '73 I think all you need is the larger rotors & caliper bracket below

Brakes I would use the 11.75 Cordoba rotor with the Adapter from Dr Diff & use the stock calipers

All I'm seeing from Dr. Diff today are slider caliper brackets... Are not the Pin type preferred?

Either work well , pin type is more accurate for early E body cars , slider calipers work fine & I would rather have the larger rotor
