Listers,
I was in the process of putting poly bushings into my '77 last night and I was
getting ready to re-assemble the drivers side, when the long thin cross piece
of the lower left a-arm came loose from one side! I had rebuilt the entire
suspension a little over two years ago and it was fine then. Since then, I
have driven the car about 8000 miles and have put it through two auto-x
events.
Is this a fluke or should I be concerned that the a-arms will continue to
break if not re-enforced?
The cross piece is only held on by a couple of rivets, its not welded....,
yet. My plans are to weld both ends of the cross piece to the a-arm, but I
was wondering if there are parts available that are a little more substantial,
or if I should add some extra support to the a-arm.
Any suggestions from those of you out there with Spitfire racing experience?
Thanks,
Paul M.
