Question
HI, I HAVE 1969 PLYMOUTH BARRACUDA, WILL THE FRONT STEERING KNUCKLES FOR A 1973-1975 FIT ONTO MY FRONT SUSPENSION CROSSMEMBER ? WOULD NEED TO ALSO USE THE UPPER AND LOWER CONTROLS ARMS? DAVE

Answer
Hi Dave,

According to my research, and according to my diagrams, they parts should fit, however, to be sure you would want to check the dimensions of the parts to ensure that they are the same dimensions as the ones currently in the 69 Barracuda.  Also, it looks like you wuold be able to get away with using the existing upper and lower control arms.  Thats according to my diagrams.  Remember though, the only way to be sure is to measure and check all the dimesnions.  if they fit, you are in business, if not, which happens from time to time, you will need to go with 69 parts.

Good Luck

Thank you.
