One other note: The bolts used to hold the caliper to knuckle for a 2005 SRT-10 is DR-1 (sales code BR5). My bolt threads were damaged. The factory parts manual on page 62 of 549 for the SRT-10, DR-1 (BR5), calls to use Mopar part number 06507830AA. You put that number into RockAuto and it...

I’m still deciding which way to go. I stopped to paint the aluminum knuckle with aluminum engine paint (500 degrees) just to make it look good (yes, I’ll be the only one that will see it, but for $15 per can, it will be worth it).

I am doing the suspension on my 2005 QC SRT-10. After getting all the items back from the sandblaster and powdercoater it is now getting put back together. Here is my next question: My original Lower Control Arms use ball joints are kept in by a retention flange (basically metal bent over). The...

Woo-Hoo! Now I can see it. Thank you for explaining it….

I still don’t see the direction in 1, 2, or 3. What are you seeing that I am not seeing for 1,2, and 3? This is that OCD thing that my brain needs to know your secret. ~lol

Dang it, now I see it. #5 show FWD. I wasn’t good with Where’s Waldo….

I bet it was #5, because of the frame mount?

I truly thought you’d say it depends on which way I’m facing. ~lol Which drawing did you find about the LCA nuts? I looked at them for a long time and didn’t see both sides. I could only find the one side. Was it picture 1,2,3,4, or 5?

As you guys know I am in the process of replacing all the maintenance parts on the front end of my two 2005 trucks. Items like, Upper Control Arms (UCA), wheel bearings, sway bar links,Inner and Outer tie rods, fresh powder coated with new bushings and ball joints Lower Control Arms (LCA), Coil...

Btw, I just took my LCA back to the machine shop. They pressed the bushing in too far. My recommendation is to measure the inside distance between the metal-to-metal on the two sets of bushing. The correct distance is 8 1/4 inch. They had them at 8 inch. The LCA would not budge that mere 1/4...

American men only like using mm when talking length. It sounds bigger.

The version I heard is: “If both parties think they got screwed in the divorced settlement, then it was a fair settlement”.

Great video! The only thing I didn’t like is he used channel locks instead of an actual wrench. Maybe he didn’t have that handy dandy metric opened end wrench, lol. I never even thought of using a cable tie. Thank God you said that. Luckily to, AutoZone loans a free tool that fits the...

Just kidding, But now that I’ve got your attention, why can’t I find the torque measurements for the Inner Tye Rod in the 2005 service manual? I’ve search on “Inner Tye Rod” and only a few items come up, but not the torque values. If you find them, can you tell me the page you found them, and...

I wanted to experiment with cleaning mine. I cleaned one set by soaking them in Berryman’s carb cleaner (which I had for years). That cleaned them up nicely once I used a toothbrush and rag on the caked on areas. Since I wanted to clean the chemical off, I took the chemical treated one, and...

I had a really hard time pulling the stuck caliper pistons out. I decided to just seperate the caliper in half so I could get good leverage with my channel lock. It was extremely simple to separate the caliper in half by removing the five 12mm Allen head bolts and removing the looping brake...

Well, it is LGBTQ+ month after all. ~lol

Thanks for posting this. Somehow I missed read this one when I was doing my search. Mine was the same as yours, it was smoking badly so I knew I needed to rebuild them. I had a spare set of calipers that I purchased back in 2012, so I never got to building the smoking one. Since I’m doing the...

Well, that answers that. The truck is far from a show truck and is only a daily driver. I’m not sure what they will charge for the sandblasting, but the knuckle is at their shop. Per the caliper, I bought the kit of the o-ring and piston, thus why I put some thought into power coating them...

I searched for caliper info and wonder what was the final thought of what paint should be used? I am waffling back and forth about if I should paint them, or just get them sand blasted and powder coated. I have the drivers side tore down to replace the control arms and wheel bearing, so I...
