Expert Posts: 1530    Location: ZH, Switzerland | Hi there I'm looking for different rubber parts for the front axle of my Chrysli (1956 Chrysler New Yorker, compatible with the De Soto): - Steering knuckle tie rod - seal end dust (1322 964), - 2 pieces - sway bar - cushion std/heavy duty? (1639 167), - 2 pieces (these two pieces are for the center of the steering link, drag bar?) - sway bar - retainer cushion (1313 961), - 2 pieces - seal -Idler arm dust, upper (1556 305), - 1 pieces - seal -Idler arm dust, lower (1535 115), - 2 pieces (the numbers within the parentheses are the factory spare part numbers for De Soto and Chrysler cars, 1956 only) The parts kit from Kanter is not complete (only the rubber parts for the upper, the lower arms and two tie rod ends /w seal cap are enclosed...)). Please would you tell me where is the best source, where can I order all these parts at the same store (online preferred)? Thank you very much. Happy Motoring!

Expert Posts: 1530 Location: ZH, Switzerland | Sisu - 2011-06-05 2:38 AM I was again looking your pictures and one question came up? How did you manage to get MFK?? I know the Swiss testers won't accept any oil leaks! Is it really that hard for classic cars? Yes it's really hard in Switzerland. At the Loerrach meeting I met a guy from South Germany who bought a Chebby in Switzerland. The MFK tried to force the seller to restore the whole brake system. The Swiss guy decided to sell. The new owner went to a check company ( like MFK, but in Germany). Everything was okay and he got the historic license plate. Once I read about an owner of a classic car with small chips at the end of the front door. This guy used a fix it fast bottle with a brush to close the chips. The guy at the MFK wanted to drive the owner to buy a professional repair job for the chips (or the whole body) to not to loose the historic state. The owner decided to part his car out. I put it to my so called mechanic. I spent tons of money to him for a decent work. He went to the MFK, few yards before he entered the MFK the new horn relay gave up (drowned). I guess he cleaned the area around the shifter cable at the PowerFlite. He used a hot water cleaner to clean the motor bay even though the rest of the underside of the car dry ice cleaning was applied. He only told me (when I took my car over) to fix the sun visor at the drivers side and the horns. Happy Motoring! Dieter picture: at the left hand side you'll see the sea of ATF - below is cooling fluid (heater control valve's leaking) and the black oil is from the canister oil filter - I didn't know that there is a shell /w nut and a stem (mounted into the base of the oil filter)...

Expert Posts: 3575 Location: Netherlands | By posting this pic I'm sure you will now soon be deported by your Swiss authorities  I've heard horrorstories about Swiss car check-ups aswell. How a carguy could live there is a mystery to me. No amusing stories of people smacking or jamming an axle-shaft straight into some MFK'ers behind or something?

Expert Posts: 3575 Location: Netherlands | Why not splash some used oil under that landlord's own car once in while?  Or maybe you should have some guys from Romania or Poland ask how his wife and kids are these days... | ||

Inactive by Request Posts: 1292 Location: Lovely place | Its a great idea to squirt the car with oil - haha! For some reason all my ex-landlords had a Mercedes-Benz. I see such car and first I think is... A..HOLE! As I live at the Swiss border I've imported several cars from there to Germany. All those cars were in excellent condition compared to similar age vehicles in Germany. At the local Tüv (vehicle inspection center) they love to see the detailed Swiss papers and usually they aren't even interested to thoroughly check the car since they trust the Swiss made sure the car is roadworthy. Also, what they manufacture is top class - I have Swiss made truck, snowcat and moped None leaks oil In Switzerland you have no way to affect the MFK, but in German Tüv its called Vitamin B. You know someone working there and you'll pass the test. I know three such guys and if at least the brakes are working I pass the test every time. | ||

How a carguy could live there is a mystery to me. No amusing stories of people smacking or jamming an axle-shaft straight into some MFK'ers behind or something? You're right as long as it's on the road. In this case I would have to call the fire rescue to clean the road. In my case it's inside a barn with a concrete floor. I asked my land lord earlier on to paint the floor with a special concrete color (oil resistant). He denied... I told him about the mess. He only said, "bring some cat box sand with you." When I'll ever could mount the oil filter (I guess no chance at all if working from the top side and alone...) I'll mount the missing hoses and fill the engine with cooling fluid. Then I'll drive it out of the barn and I'll clean the floor with white spirit and rub the floor with soapy water (washing machine detergent). Next to the barn lives a retired police officer... uh gosh. But - I'm sorry, it's away from the title subject... Happy Motoring! Dieter | ||
