Hello All
Progressing with my suspension rebuild in the 59 TR3. Installed upper and lower wishbones, lower trunnion, and upper ball joint and vertical link last night. Prior to fitting spring, how tight should this assembly be? I torqued all to factory specs and am using TRF Magic Kit poly bushings for upper. Takes about two very stong fingers and maybe 15 to 20 lbs (applied vertically to stub axle) to move the vertical link up and down. I think most friction is from upper wishbone as the poly bushings really get squished when you torque the castellated nuts down.
Thanks for advice.
