Need an expert

[gran coupe john]

Finally got some needed parts in, and back to putting the gran coupe back together. Got a couple of 1 inch pins, have no clue what they came out of? I believe somewhere in the front steering? Does anybody know???

I am not an expert, but I think it goes here. It aligns with the recessed groove on the splined shaft. But only one, not both of them.

Got that pin, and it is a lot larger than those 2.
Thanks

For the strut rods on the threaded end.

 

[gran coupe john]

Would that make the strut rods sag?

 

[gran coupe john]

Without those pins

Without those pins

No. Someone hooked there to tow it and bent them.

 

[Challenger RTA]

Take them off and they can be straitened.

 

[gran coupe john]

No one towed there. Car hasn't moved. Was a shell when I got it home.

 

[Challenger RTA]

Bad bushings or not tightened up it will sag or hang down. Or someone towed it before you got it. Seen it happen. The pins are a safety feature.

 

[moparlee]

Agree with Challenger RTA. Look at the end of the strut rods, there is a hole there for the roll pins.

I vote for the lower control arm shafts. Where the blue arrow points to.

 

[gran coupe john]

Yes, without the 2 small roll pins. Would that make it sag? I know I did put them in. Wanted to know how and where the go??

 

[gran coupe john]

I did NOT get the pins back in.

I think the only job those pins do is stop the strut rods nuts coming off and being lost.

 

[gran coupe john]

Thanks, now is a good time to put back in before they get lost.

I agree. A lot would have to happen before it could become a problem.

The way my luck is running, it could happen
