When I bought the '74 MGB I knew that all of the front rubber was in bad shape and that the right front spindle had slop, but thought that it was a project that could wait for winter. Don't think so now. Right front made some ugly clunking noises during our last drive. Got a good look at it today and the pivot bushings are almost gone. Read through the workshop manual and seems like I can do this. I'll use rebuilt swivel assemblies, V-8A arm bushings, etc. While at it, check springs and lever shocks. Will get as complete a kit as possible. I assume that since the bushing is gone the wishbone arm is probably shot. Any argument for or against the "negative camber" variant?
Any special tools that I must have to do this job right? Anyone done this and want to share the "ugly surprises?" Words of wisdom?
Plan is to try to take it apart tomorrow morning and see what needs doing.
