Greetings List:
I've discovered that the outer bushings on the driver's side front
trunnion/wishbone connection of my '69 TR6 need to be replaced. I've
ordered a bushing kit for both sides from BPNW and hope to do the job this
weekend. BPNW advises that if I support the spring/shock pad with a jack
and remove the large bolt and split nut that I can then lower the wishbones
in order to replace all the lower bushings.
What is your experience and advice on this project? I do intend to
completely rebuild the front suspension and steering after the 1st of the
year but need to correct this immediate problem/hazard. The Bentley manual
describes complete removal of the lower wishbones but doesn't specifically
address bushing replacement while the wishones are still attached to the
car. Any help/advice/cautions?
Thanks as usual for all your consideration.
Best regards,
