I have an early BJ8 that has been thoroughly gone through. Pretty much new=
everything. Recently I have experienced a jiggle/pull in steering when ge=
tting on and off throttle, admittedly with a heavy right foot. Doesn't ne=
cessarily pull to one side or the other, just jiggles a moment. It's an on=
/off throttle thing, doesn't do it when braking.
I've checked the rear - everything seems tight, and all bushings have been =
replaced. motor mounts are good, transmission tension rod/bushings are goo=
d. little or no play in the front end, all new there too. Front end ali=
gnment appears to be good. Steering box is properly adjusted and has norma=
l "play" for a cam and peg box as with my TR3's and Morgan + 4's.
It isn't dangerous, but it doesn't feel right. That said, for all I know=
, it's part of the "vintage healey experience". I have 5 other vintage bri=
tish sports cars and each has their own issues that are part of their charm=
.
Would appreciate anybody's experiences thoughts.
Jonas
