Question: What type of fluid is in the dampers?  Bentley seems to hide this 
info. 
Is it hyploid?  Kind of smells like it

---------------------------

I've been regularly reading the List for about 2 months now.

After 26 years, I recently gained ownership of the family '76 TR6.

I have slowly been inspecting the rarely driven car stem to stearn.

All of the mail regarding a rear end thunk has kept my interest. I had/have one.

My first look was diagnosed to be a loose exhaust system, fixed it.

The thunk was reduced to an extremely rare single "thunk" turning right
aggressively, didn't hit my high priority list.  Suspension components revealed
nothing.

During a recent driveline inspection, a right side axle u-joint was found to be 
in
early failure.

I'll pick up the u-joint and brake shoes (while I am in there) today.

While a have the rear end up, what else should I check?

Trailing Arm bushings are good. Hard to believe.

Differential mounts are solid.

Brake lines, ok for now.

Replaced the springs and damper links.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
