I have received a lot of help from people on the list in the course of
rebuilding my '75 TR6 rear suspension.  It is completed now and rode
extremely well today.

However,  I may not be out of the woods yet - as I seem to have an
occasionally thump or sound from the left rear axle area perhaps??  The
car rides wonderful with the independent well-supported rear suspension,

and accelerates fine as well. Only, occasionally now and often around 40

MPH, I get an occasional thump off and on. This comes and goes, and is
not heard when at 30, and when at around  55 MPH and higher I can not
hear it.

I must admit replacing the right rear half axle in the exact  former
position as attached to the differential, but failed to do so for  the
left rear
suspension.

I understand that the universals must be placed in parallel on either
half-axle assembly to avoid thumping at high speeds, but does it matter
as to the relative position of each of the two half axles to one another

upon final assembly?????

Is there something else I'm missing here which is not related to the
half-axles???

Thanks for any suggestions, D. Michael
