A little difficult to measure but here you go, Buick first.. Imperial is bare metal, Buick with lite coat of zinc paint, hope this helps..

These are bearings what I used, like The_ Eagles_Nest said I think also that -72/-73 bearings are same, at least Rockauto give same numbers for both years.

Little update guys, about this Buick rotors question, I think this could work. This is test with Raybestos 5006R rotors. I have -72 spindles and K-H brakes from Murray Park, right side rotor is ok but left is done, inner surface is badly damaged. So, I ordered parts and let the show begin...

Thanks again and good point that rubber parts question, I should ask that before ordering parts. But how about other rubber parts like front disk caliper and rear brake cylinders rubber parts, how can you know can you use silicone brake fluid?? One question leads to another... Regards, Mika

Thanks Jeff, and yes, -69 FSM didn't make a difference with these parts between Budd and K-H brakes. -69 they start with Budd but later that year they change to Kelsey-Hayes. So I'm gonna order repair kits...

Maybe stupid question but, when changing from 4 piston Budd brakes to Kelsey-Hayes type one piston brakes, are the other parts still same? Budd System has tee part with brake warning switch ( looks like very similar with B body) and Kelsey-Hayes made metering valve, that's it no other parts...

Any progress on this one ? Thanks, Mika

Original bushings where non lubricated rubber type bushings, these shafts are for nylon or polyuretan bushings, like they say in FF website. Grease need to be suitable for materials.

Thanks everyone about thoughts . Yes, I'm middle of the total restoration ( if you are interested, look at my thread "I'm not a metal man but.." and you get a idea) and I think I'm gonna do this car ones, I hope.. I haven't drive this car, not even one inch so I'd know how t-bars works when...

-69 Imp Le Baron, another torsionbar is bend about 3 millimeters ( 1/8 inch) , the other one is straight. Is it problem or not? Removing wasn't difficult.

Thanks, you're right. Now it makes sense.. Mika

Do I understand correctly: is it possible that-69 Imp ball joints could be press fitted or with threads? And if so, how to identify without removing? Press fitted is round outside and thread fitted is square outside? Thanks in advance, Mika
