Not likely. Usually starts with a vibration and/or a growling sound, and
works it's way up to an outright constant thumping. Never had one just thump
occasionally. They are usually just good or bad and not much in between.
I replaced all mine on the B because it had been sitting 20 years, and I
expect I'll replace them on the TR4 for much the same reason. Easier to do
while the driveline is out than on the side of the road later.

As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg
carburetors in his vintage Triumph, highly functional yet pleasingly formed,
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced
hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and
adjusted as described in chapter seven of the shop manual.
