Hi Everyone,
I am in the process of rebuilding the front suspension on my ’59 TR3A and after replacing the lower inner wishbone bushings with the nylon/steel combo provided by Moss, I noticed the steel bushings are very loose on the inner fulcrum pivot. This allows for a lot of racking of the wishbone, even when the retaining plate and nuts are installed. So I have two questions: How tight should the wishbones be on the lower fulcrum, and, how about using the same urethane bushings (Prothane) that I used on the top inner control arm/fulcrum pin? They appear to fit the lower quite well, and the very original bushings were also rubber, just like the upper. Any opinions?
Thanks!
