I have used a dremel bit to cut grooves in the alum calipers. Carefully done it only took a few minutes a hole to cut the grooves to make stock orings fit. Dremel 3/8'' Disk Bit Hss | Western Tool Supply

Problem is the center of the pivot of the outer tierod would need to be around the center of the spindle arm. Being it would be difficult to raise the outer tierod, lowering the inner is not difficult and it does correct bumpsteer.

The olds BFGs were fine when new even in a cant see out the front windshield down pour at hyway speeds. My mt radials have plenty of groove depth but are scary on wet roads. I had done 1 360 at speed and a severly dipped road.:eek:

Truck 12bolt no. The truck is a leaf spring axle vs car 4 link. The a-body 12bolt with swap with some mods and swap control arms. Turbo Buicks and Olds 442s came with 8.5's which are a sturdy axle to begin with.

Nothing. The tan wire it grounded by the combo/prop switch to complete the brake light circuit. Leave it hang or clip the wire at the firewall.

Imo rtv would be seal it up with less mess.

I gave my calipers to a local machinst to cut the grooves and he said he couldnt. Wtf, how hard can it be? I used a hand drill and dremel bit #199 to cut the grooves. Wasnt difficult at all.

Such things like brakes and exhaust changes all the time on my car.:D I have stockers on the car now. I had the sierras on my car several yrs ago but one leaked and I pinched and wrecked both brakes hoses between the steering stops. So I picked up a set of Howes and shorter hoses on ebay cheap...

Best mod I have done to tighten up my g-body was solid body mounts. The ride quality is ALL in the suspension.
