RO Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I have edited this posting with.....The ebay posting shows a T-type end one on end and IF they would work on a Packard, it would be '56 FRONT only! But there seems to be some doubt, so I may have to delete this post if the general consensus is they will not work on the Packards.REAR SHOCKS, with torsion bar, unconfimred from ebay (they do have the T-fitting and if true they fit '55-57 Chevy, then you can find them just about ANYWHERE ANYTIME):2 NEW OLD STOCK REAR SHOCKS.

RO Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Randy, yes, I should have elaborated. The shocks are listed as "rear shocks" on ebay. The photo does show T-fitting on one end, so presumbably then these would fit the FRONT of the Packards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_PackardV8 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 from the Virtual Indian Motorcycle Journal.And i quote:"I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago, and waited to follow up on it after I saw the product, but a local kid has me in complete utter awe at what he can hand hammer form over a hard maple buck. This kid is amazing, also as a welder. He just recreated a speedway tank for 2 of my racers and they are spoton perfect. And the cost will amaze you, you might even want to give him more.AnywayAlex Barrett401 E. FairgroundsJerseyville, Illinois 62052618-498-3767He has actually restored some of my faith that young people want to learn how to do some of these special talents. I know I am going overboard but you all shoulda been here when that new tank slid right in my speedway bike, had to fit between the upper and bottom tubes, and line up with the 4 bottom bolts, itALL fit."

Twitch Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 It's 1973. My Dad and I owned a franchise back then. It has Western Auto stock numbers which I have no idea if they are still valid. I figure if the same number is listed for more than the Packard it is helpful. If you go to a parts place looking for a generator and they say "we don't have Packards listed." They may have 52-56 Pontiac or 55-56 Buick listed which is equal, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are ... correct for 1950 through 1956 Packards and Studebaker 56J Golden Hawks with Ultramatic. These are the later style plates that were made available in 1958 presumably to correct a deficiency in the earlier type. For that reason, they have a different part number which is 1548882.

Guest imported_Speedster Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I recently purchased a spare Torsion-Level Compensator Gearbox and on inspection found that the wormgear shaft end Bearing, was bad. To my surprise I found that it is a metric size bearing #629. (9mm I.D., 26mm O.D. and 8mm width) It is a common size and can be purchased many placed. To inspect and replace this bearing a 1 1/8" plug type cap must be removed from housing and the bearing is held in by a clip ring. There was no grease under the cap and it should be full to protect bearing. The plug is very hard to remove without damage to plug, unless you remove the motor and shaft and using a long 1/4" rod to knock it out. So I punched a hole in the center of it, prized it out, and filled the hole with epoxy before reinstalling it. That way the cap can be removed and grease inspected, while mounted in car, without removing the motor and shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
