That's another weak point that I have noticed with all Spitfire related 
Triumphs.
The vertical link at the front lower trunnion either:

bend (with good luck): http://personal.inet.fi/koti/jtabell/link2.jpg
or
break (with not so good luck): http://personal.inet.fi/koti/jtabell/LINK1.JPG

Does anyone have any cure for that?
