Hi Guys, Anyone have a pinion snubber bend down toward the u-joint and have the yoke rub on it as it turns?? Is there a better/stronger one (That I Can Purchase Somewhere) that can hold up better?

How far do you have it away from the floor of the car when it's siiting on the tires. You shouldn't be bending it if it's set right.

When it was new, I set it about 1" from the floor.

I think a good aftermarket adjustable would be pretty sturdy.

If you are hitting-the-floor with a PS that hard .... you have some SEVERE wind-up issues.

BROOM that PS out ..and get a decent set of rear springs !

The car is a 4spd, I'm sure that's a factor.

Yes. I've bent the orginal brackets before. I make my own as the aftermarket ones are usually to tall with factory springs.

Some guys find good results by ditching the adjustable pinion snubber and rely on adding more spring clamps to the leafs to stiffen them up.

I have factory springs in my car and my after market Mopar Performance snubber was to tall also. I cut mine down so 2 hole were left on the top part and bottom part and it gave me the right space that I needed. But I still need to know what I should do now, another one like I had or what else is there that would be stronger???

Stronger

Just measure up what you have now and check the fit and adjust accordingly.

I think you missed the part of my post that says my snubber bent and is rubbing on the yoke of the rear. I can't use the one I have. Thanks anyway

1" from the floor also says your rear suspension only has 1" of travel.

No I didn't miss that part. You can still get all the dimensions that you need along with a little time under the car. The mounting and the bumper mount are parallel.

So is mine and I don't use one. You need a good set of springs, as Doc Fiberglass has suggested. Way too much wind up.

I would follow the Chrysler racing engineers advice and run a pinion snubber as well.

After reading all the responses, I'm thinking that I should change my 42yr old springs. My car is a 68GTX so the springs on there now are what was HD then and the pass side has one more leaf than the driver side. What should I buy, Super Stock Springs or the Extra Heavy Duty Leaf springs or something else????? Where should I buy them????
