Hi all.

Not sure if this is the best forum, or if the genera would be betterl, but thought I would start here.

I have a 70 b body, the one in the sig pic. Car is 11" drums all the way around, and manual steering. Stock hemi torsion bars, offset upper CA bushings, and all new bushings, etc... probably about 10k miles ago.

Symptoms are: under heavy breaking, pulls to the right, once breaking is on, doesn't seem to pull. At any speed, if I break hard, when I let some pressure off of the pedal, there is a distinct clunk, I'm almost positive it is from the right side. It seems to eat steering boxes, I'm on my second rebuilt one.

When I first put the steering box in, the car feels great, (aside from the breaking issue), it tracks well, doesn't feel loose or squirmy. Now it still tracks well, but is squirmy, I'm working more to drive the car, and it feels like the breaking issue is more exaggerated.

I have torn into the suspension, and everything seems good and tight. I didn't take the strut off to check the play on the LCA, or disconnect the UCA, but it all felt good.

The only obvious thing I can see is the adjuster bolt for the torsion bar on the driver side is roughly even with the bottom of the LCA, whereas on the passenger side it sticks out a good half inch or more beyond the edge of the LCA. A significant difference.

So, any thoughts on where to start with this? I have checked ball joints, all the basic things, and everything seems tight and in good shape, and all of it is relatively new. I've replaced the lower ball joint on the passenger side a while ago, as it did feel slightly loose, and wanted to try something, anything.

Any help is appreciated.
