For those of you who run driveline brakes are they better then having all brakes or just running them on the front or rear.

What can you do to beef up the front ball joints/ A arms area (on a imp sub) Ive now broken 2 joints on same car. I know it's the biggest target on these type of cars. Also...when cranking up torsion bars, the top of the tire gets slanted in at a steep angle. (putting an already bad angle on the joint itself) Am i doing something wrong here?

I've bent some front spindles but the ball joints have always held up well for me

eliminating the brake booster - take the booster & master off the car, separate them - take off the plate that is between the booster and the firewall - match the master to the big hole in the plate, drill four holes in the plate, bolt the master to the plate - bolt this to the firewall - separate the two halves of the booster, remove the pushrod from both halves - connect the one half to the brake pedal, figure out how much longer it needs to be in order to mate with the master and have the pedal where you want it - measure and cut, splice together - don't forget to put in some kind of stop to keep the pedal from swinging back too far and pulling the rod away from the master

How does one go about removing the push rods from the booster in the booster elimination process? '85 5th Ave.

Usually a pry bar works to bend the tabs until it pops apart, you can also use a torch but be ready for the "POP" when the diaphragm inside bursts - saw off the two halves of the rod at their base - mock up the length, cut to fit, weld together, done
