This message may only be appropriate for fellow TR7 owners.
If you've read my latest emails, you know I have a LOT of play in the
passenger-side inner ball joint assembly on my TR7. So much play in fact
that I wonder if the little spacer/bushing and washer inside the assembly,
that the end of the ball pushes against, is missing.
My Bentley manual shows the spacer/bushing and washer. It looks like when
you unscrew the two outer-parts of the assembly, you can replace them. But
the catalogs just sell the whole new ball-joint assembly.
So, if you know what I'm talking about, and you have an old inner-ball joint
assembly from a TR7, could you see if you can separate the parts and discover
whether there is a spacer/bushing and washer in there?
Yeah, I know, JUST BUY THE BLOODY INNER BALL JOINTS!!!!!
But this is so much more challenging...
