Thanks Graham. I have been contemplating suspension work on my TR6. I plan
to do this over the winter. There seem to be a lot of different options.
There are many different kits one can purchase: stock rubber bushings,
uprated rubber, polyurethane, some other even stiffer urethane. On top of
this there are a number of parts which may or may not need replacing.
TRF sells a front suspension "magic kit" to the tune of $350. Does anybody
have any experience to share with this? It looks like there are things in
this kit such as trunions that you would only replace if broken.
I am not looking to get race car response out of my car. I just want it to
feel more stable. Can anybody help with a list of must-do and could-do items
for this?
Thanks,
Hugh Fader
