Hello,
Found a fix for a annoying problem with the 57 300C.
First, a little background on the car. I had purchased it in 1982 in northern
Ohio. I think the ad read "'57 Chrysler 300C for sale, bring large basket".
After 13 years of thinking about it, I finally got the car running in 1995. It
was restored with the idea of being a real nice but "driver" type of car. Now
after 3 years of working out the bugs I still wasn't happy with the way the
car behaved on the road. I had originally replaced most everything I could
think of in the front suspension and steering 3 years ago. I'm driving on BF
Goodrich bias ply repops, so I figured that the tires would be part of the
issue. Not so. Yesterday I was looking around in the trunk and came across a
bag with the new front sway bar bushings in it that never got installed.
Bingo! That was it. Even though the old ones did not look bad there's a big
difference with the handling and driving of the car. I think they came from
Gary Goers, didn't cost a lot, and took about 45 minutes to install (lube 'em
with dish soap). I'm not sure what models use sway bars, but I know I like
the car a lot more today.
Jim
