Front steering linkage
« on: December 11, 2006, 10:55:30 PM »

I'm changed my front drum to disc on my 72. I want to put all new steering linkage in .Question is can i put the complete steering linkage from a 73 dart in. Will it all bolt in ? I have power steering. Or will all the 72 Dart linkage fit the disc brake setup. thaks, dart swg.

Either linkage will work.

72 and 73 use different styles of pitman and idler arms. 72 and back have the castle nut pointing up and go thru the drag link from the bottom up - 73 and up are just the opposite. Whatever you do, you must use the correct idler, pitman and drag link for their respective year as a set.

You also will most likely need to change the steering gear to use the later steering linkage as I don't think you can find the pitman arm for the later center link and early gear.
