Re: IML: 67 and 68 Tie rod ends/lower control arm bushings

Rare parts Rare parts Rare parts All these items are available through a company called rare parts and are also listed on Advance auto/parts America web site even the idler arm can be rebuilt and pitmans are available I get them from them all the time the price is high but you drive an Imperial would you expect anything less.  I still can't beleive we can;'t talk a performance brake shop into manufacturing a pair of brake rotors for these cars surely there are enough 67-69 Imperial owners to make it worth there while I have two and that makes 4 I need.

Hi People

I can relate to this a bit. Someone put a new set of Budd rotors and
calipers on my 68 Convertible
in the 80s. The rotors are in perfect shape because the car was not
driven after they were installed, but one of my front calipers is
leaking a bit lately, and I am seriously considering swapping out the
whole front sub frame for one from a 1977 New Yorker my friend junked
this summer. I would also swap to the rear end from the New Yorker,
which would give me the same bolt pattern as a lot of other Chryslers,
and would make it much easyer to get parts. Personaly I don't value
originalty anywhere near as much as I value easily obtainable parts.
That is one of the reasons I love Imperials, because they are special,
but parts are generaly cheap and easy to get because they share a lot
of parts with other Chrysler cars.

Does anyone know if the front splndles from a 77 New Yorker would bolt
in place of the ones on the Imperial?
