Hello list:
Into a front end rebuild on my TR2 and have a couple of questions.
Do the outer control arm bushings that pivot on the trunions require 
reaming to fit?? I seem to recall that the older style bushings 
required reaming to fit, but not sure if the newer "split" type 
bushings require this step.
Does anyone have a source for some information on a front end 
re-build? On my 2 I am replacing the inner lower control arm rubber 
bushes with the 3A nylon and steel bushings. Faced with this 
bewildering array of steel, nylon and rubber bits for the lower 
control arms. The manual is the usual helpful "re-assembly is the 
reverse of disassembly".  Any help out there?
What about an assembly lube for the nylon and urethane bushes - any 
recommendations?
Thanks for any help with these questions.
