On the road again.

[TR4nut]

Howdy-

Just finished a test drive of my TR4 and since nothing fell off, I think my suspension rebuild was a complete success!

New leaf springs, coils, shocks, bushings, trunnions, replaced bent vertical link, swapped out worn out steering rack. And new rims and tires as a special treat. No more squeaks, squawks, or other mysterious noises when I drive, and no embarassing lean on the drivers side anymore - well worth the pain of the work I think. Unfortunately now with that cleaned up suspension the paint job is starting to look a little tatty..oh well!

Cheers,
Randy

Congrats, Randy -

I know it's more rewarding to drive. And the cosmetics can always be done "down the road." In the meantime, enjoy!

Great to see! To me the TR4 is still the best looking roadster Triumph made.

Anything that looks that good should drive well too. Beautiful!

Thanks all for the kind words - really didn't have a reason to post, but my car had been on jack stands for about 2 months and I had encountered more than one problem along the way - when I finally tightened the last bolt and took it out for a spin I was feeling pretty happy.

I like those tires. What are they?

Which wheels did you guy?

Great looking car.

I put on Kumho 195-65/15 tires, wheels are bolt on KN 5.5" Minators sold by Moss and others, center caps are fake knockoffs I picked up on ebay. Good thing the car doesn't sag anymore otherwise fender clearance on the front would be a small issue.

I like the Kumhos so far (all 10 miles worth) - seem to be very good value, readily available
