I recently road in a friends BJ8 and his rides smoother than mine.
Mine seems stiff, makes more noise and seems to bounce around more than his.
My mechanic agrees that my car does not ride as smooth as it should and thinks the problem is the leaf springs. He says the rear shocks are fine. I recently replace the from shocks.
The new leaf springs were purchased from Victoria British in 2000.
They didn't cost much then. $69.95 each.
He recommends we replace them.
Question is who sells the good ones.
Austin Healey Spares sells to a lot of the vendors.
Moss, Victoria British, British Car Specialists, Healey Surgeons.
Maybe the ones from Healey Spares is different from the others. Maybe the vendors source them from different places.
What I don't want to do it buy another set, go though the exercise of replacement to find the springs are the same.
Any suggestions?
Thanks guys,
Roger
