Charles: The balancing rods are just torsion bars
and work just like the ones in the front suspension. First thing, are they both
there and not broken. Next thing is there is a series of notches in the trunk
hinge bracket, each sides adjustment controls the opposite side
hinge, the further up in the notches the more counterbalanced force is
applied. I use a large pair of visegrips to hold and twist the tang of the bar.
You can try the bars out of your parts car, part numbers are the same for all
models and flitesweep and plain, but are right or left side. By the way, do you
need correct material for your parcel shelf, I have it available. Reply off line, estepney@xxxxxxxxx. Ernie and The
Black Bitc_!! -----Original Message----- I have 2 57's I is being scrapped
due to rust, the other is being restored. The trunk on the keeper doesn't stay
up, the trunk on the other does. I have read Chrysler's 57 book and repairing
the trunk, ballancing bars, to me is as clear as mud. Is there any part I can
replace off 1 on the other to make it work? Is it just an adjustment to
fix the problem |
