Title: Front Suspension Post by: WIL35 on 04 April, 2007, 11:13:24 AM Hello,
Just got my 1984 Coupe IE MOT'd and back on the road after six years. I would like to freshen up the front suspension. Has anyone put Polyflex bushes on their wishbones and what difference did it make? Also the 'bearing' that sits between the strut and the top mount had disintegrated on one side. This meant the strut didn't swivel with the steering, giving severe self centering when turning right!! Has anyone managed to find replacement bearings for this area? I've tried the usual sources without luck. Any help, much appreciated! Thanks Clive Title: Re: Front Suspension Post by: fay66 on 14 April, 2007, 12:01:24 AM Hi Clive,
Alan Cooper who is no longer a LMC member, has asked me to tell you that he has a good secondhand bearing that you can have. Please contact him on alan.c.ia@ntlworld.com Regards Brian Hilton 8227 ;D ;D Title: Re: Front Suspension Post by: WIL35 on 17 April, 2007, 07:54:08 AM Thanks Brian,
I've sent a message to Alan. It would be good to get the steering back to normal. In the meantime I ended up using a thick plastic disc smothered in grease to allow some movement! Best regards, Clive Title: Re: Front Suspension Post by: fay66 on 17 April, 2007, 04:56:52 PM Hi Clive,
Pleased to help, sounds like a superbly engineered bit work in proudest Heath Robinson Tradition, known to most motoring enthusiasts ;D Hope you soon have it up to scratch. Brian Hilton 8227 8) |
