After nearly a year searching for my front wheel bearings success came my way and I found the proper bearings. The front suspension is completed with new bushings, bearings, springs, rebuilt shocks from Peter C, brake lines, hoses, tie rod ends, and many other things. Not to mention the new paint in the engine bay and other places.

I now have the rear of the car disassembled and the new spring bushing kit on the kitchen table. Many other parts on the way including a new SU solid state fuel pump. I have a new Facet pump that has been on my shelf for a few years which will become a permanent installed backup pump. Tuesday I will stop in at Peter C's and pick up rebuilt shocks and new links. New brake lines are included in the project. The PO had replaced the wheel cylinders and shoes so I will have not replace them. But I will replace the hub seals and inspect the bearings. I have decided to leave the pinion alone since there is no sign of leaking and that would not be a big deal to do later if needed. The fuel tank will also be removed so I can inspect it and repair or replace if needed.

It is a great feeling to be past the front end and that bearing mess.

In front I used rubber and in the rear I am using prothane. I would prefer rubber but don't trust the composition of the new rubber products. So I am doing a test to see which I prefer. The rubber products I have used on my TR6 have had a very short lifespan, terrible quality compared to the original parts.
