Thanks again for everyones help with my CV axle issue. Resolved.
New problem though..... the bushings were shot for the sway bar. Ordered Moog bushings for the inner and outer sway bar. The outer ones look like they will fit ok, however, the inner ones are very different and don't appear to fit. The "U" saddle that they fit into does not look anything like any part of the new bushing. Moog part # K7222 is the part that I have and it continues to come up as the right part no matter what parts house I look at. Anyone have any experience with this? Do you just have to force these into the saddles? This looks like something that wears out easily with the stock bushings so I would imagine someone has dealt with this.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
Looks like the factory inner sway bar bushings are 4449340 for the auto. Anyone have any of these in stock? I checked out a few on line Chrysler parts look up sites and no dice.

Appreciate everyone's help. Called a few local parts houses and none of them could get either a rebuilt or new axle for the TC specifically. Most local shops said they stopped rebuilding CV joints a while back. Ended up getting a new axle for a LeBaron, measured it twice and found it to work. The collar for the ABS sensor tapped off the old axle and onto the new one no problem. Was a real pain getting the stub axle separated but prevailed eventually. Just need to finish prepping the head to get it back on and we will see how it works.

Am replacing the axles in my 89 Turbo 2 TC and am having one heck of a time finding axles. I would imagine it is partially due to the ABS system and special axle. What do you folks do in this case? I am located in California central valley, near Modesto. Know anyone that rebuilds these?
Any help is appreciated.

Perhaps if it was marketed to car clubs and groups? If you could get the costs down a bit and then a club with say 25 members could each donate 100 for a 2500 machine. Lowering it even more would make it that much more marketable and viable for smaller groups of hobbyists.

Highlander was and is a very desireable option. On my 42 it is red plaid wool on the front seats, upper door panels and rear arm rests.

Here in the Peoples Rebublic of California, we do not have access to fuel without ethanol. So if there is a cost effective way of removing it, I am all ears.

Looking for the window belt mouldings for both driver and passenger side front windows. Thought I got lucky and found a dealer in CO with them in stock but my hopes were dashed moments ago via a call.
Part #'s 4480623 and 4480622 are what I am looking for. Anyone know where these can be obtained?

need to like Chrysler products, have some knowledge, mechanical ability, be resourcefull and have a network you can tap into of people to help. What part of the country are you in?
Is it a 6 or an 8? Looks like he said Windsor so that means 6. answered my own ?

Ya, couple reasons I thought it may be Nevada. I have property in Dayton and lived in Carson City a while back so I know the "look". I have looked at numerous cars like this in similar condition and the climate seems to preserve them well and there are always bullet holes from some idiot in them. Looked at a bunch of Chryslers years ago in Fallon and Yerington that were great cars but had had many rounds through them as well.
Glad to see you are going to save it. Keep us updated and will gladly help if I can.

Wow, great car. Looks like Nevada?

Had my cars insured with Haggerty for 10 years. Never had a problem, they are always pleasant to deal with and you can reach a live person easily. They now insure my 87 Boston Whaler dive boat as well. Everything from the 42 up to the 89 TC Maserati. All the car events I go to usually always has a Haggerty booth and they are super supportive of the hobby. Found out that in order to even be a receptionist at Haggerty, you have to take and pass a course on old car knowlege.

There is an exemption for collectors and their cars in California with regards to having to file non-ops. You do not have to. See the new thread under Legislation on the message board. Any other questions, PM me and I will steer everyone in the right direction.

Again, the Association of California Car Clubs and specifically Jack Passey were instrumental in getting this verbiage installed in the code years ago. Thank you Jack.

Hopefully these links will work
V C Section 4604 Nonoperated Vehicles
V C Section 5004 Vehicles of Historic Value
V C Section 5004.5 Pre 1943 Motorcycles
The first link is the rule that anything that fits within certain guidelines as described in the subsequest links are exempt from filing non-op's and thus are exempt from back penalties. Basically anyone that is a car collector and what ever cars you may want to say are going into your collection. Even includeds parts cars. A few times we have had DMV offices that refused to comply once a car person pointed it out but we were victorious in every case because we have contacts at the top in CA DMV and were able to override them. And boy does that feel good.

Under these guidelines, you should not have any penalties regardless of what the circumstances are.
Glad this may help.

Many of you may already know this. I still find many that do not though. There is a directive in the CA DMV code book, 4604(d)3, that exempts most old cars from having any back penalties due to not registering vehicles or not placing them in a "non-op" status. This equates to sometimes as much as $1,000.00 in penalties for not filing. It could make a barn find car somewhat unrestorable if you know you have to pay penalties. Past president of ACCC and active AACA member Jack Passey put this together for us back in the 70's. Thank you Jack.
Let me know if you need more info. Most DMV offices have to be told about this rule as they don't know it themselves.

Question: Where is a cheap, yet reliable place to buy a set of radial tires?
Thanks!

discounttiredirect.com has been a good resource for some cars and they have free shipping.

SEMA does do a great job and should be thanked for their vigilance in helping the old car hobby. However, SEMA's primary focus is directed towards the aftermarket parts manufacturers and not the individual hobbyist.
Organizations like the Association of California Car Clubs, acccdefender.org, and the Historical Vehicle Association, historicvehicle.org, are the ones actually defending the individual car guy every day.
Again, SEMA is a great organization that is very influential and we should all continue to work together to achieve our common goals.

Did this car ever sell or does anyone have any idea where there are any other Hayes body coupes?
My father had one(Royal Windsor) and I was raised going on car tours in this car. Some of the best memories I have. He was known as the 39 expert for the WPC club as well as a founding member. Unfortunately, he sold the car in the 80's in Utah.

When did cars start using 12 volt batteries?
in Technical

Pretty sure all Chrysler products changed to 12 volt in 56. Interesting to hear that the Dodge Brothers were all 12 volt initially but they obviously changed back to 6 at some point. Maybe was done after their deaths in 1920 and before being sold to Chrysler Corp in the late 1920's? Wonder why they would change back to 6 in that time, perhaps standardization with the rest of the US?
