Hello, I am a long time K-car and Lebaron Convertible owner. I also mostly into Neons nowadays. I frequently lurk these boards, but don't log in much. I don't break my cars like I used to, so I don't...

The Neon V6 is my car. I posted here before about this car, but nobody seemed interested so I dropped the subject.


The T850 is not the best choice for the 3.3, but it is the only manual trans...

Bump for an update?

Couldn't you shim the rear of the k-member down that same 5/8" as an experiment to see what happens? Or am I being an idiot again? (don't answer that!)

I imagine you probably should shim the rack...

Thanks, great idea.

First gen are similar but not quite the same as the 2nd gen. The subframe is quite a bit different on the first gen, it more closely resembles the turbo-dodge style. That arm...

Correct. I want this sweet tube frame in my Neon. I bet there would be quite a few that would use this if we knew it fit. The Neon suspension setup sucks. (IMO)

This would also save a bunch of...

Actually first gen are very very similar. Squint a little and you see sort of a blend of the early stub strut, and the dual pivot.

Have you thought about checking to see if the Neon K-member is the same size? It might expand your market.

If you could post dimensions between body to K-member mounting points I could measure...

Here is a typical TD right inner CV:

Here is what the 2.7L T850 takes for an inner on both L and R:

Thanks, will give them a call.



Yes, short answer is measure what you existing axle is end to end. Do the same on the Stratus axles. You basically have to make the overall length match. The CV...

GM effectively has equal length shafts because the trans output is so long. Most of the GM's are about 20 something inches in length, I need a 37" (overall) length axle. I think my axle shaft bar...

My trans does NOT have any provision for speed sensor on the RH axle stub. The Stratus use the ABS brakes and send the vehicle speed over the communication bus. I had to get creative to make the...

Napaonline.com has very good specifications listed for their springs. They even give wire diameter, coil diameter, free and loaded heights. They usually are even divided out from L to R side, and by...

Nobody professional is willing to take that "risk" for a "dangerous" thing like an axle. I heard every excuse from heat treat issues to liability to just not being able or having the right equipment...

I wasn't aware they deleted anything. The Mods do not like off topic at all. That is OK in a way though, it prevents a bunch of problems.


No, I have not had time (or good enough weather) to deal...

Thanks.

I personally like the late style "type B" dual pivot. My opinion it has less deflection than the Neon "type A". I am not an engineer, and not a suspension designer and I am trying to...

I don't want to hijack this thread, but the 3.0 Neon has been done before.

Daytana, you can also cut those ears off the frame rail and use the later style mount that bolts flat to the rail. I had...

Looking good.

That is my 3.3 5 speed Neon, by the way. http://forums.neons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=362166

I think that some of the Minivan mounts also are very similar, if not the same as...

Long time lurker here.

I am a turbo dodge/k car owner, but I have been more of a Neon guy for the last few years. Since you all steal our cylinder heads, and other parts I want to steal (more) of...

Chad,

Did the mod, drilled a 1/16 hole exactly as described. Did part of another mod where you said to trim the kickdown valve slightly, did not change TV spring. (I think this was to raise...
