Ok, the 77 mgb front end 'clunks' when you turn and hit the brakes. I know something is worn in the front end because I did the "jack it up - put your hands at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock and see if it

The swivels are bushed with pressed in brass sleeves. The brass bushings and sometimes but rarely the kingpin wear. A kingpin set comes with new bushes that you press into your swivel arms and ream w

It's most likely the kingpin and bushes are bad. They would wear before the swivel. When you disassemble everything, you can just make sure the holes aren't out of round and that the swivel isn't bro

More two-cents worth, unsolicited--the wishbone replacement isn't expensive. They can wear at the outboard (wheel) end if the bolt wasn't tight enough, and at the inboard (engine) end if the rubber b

A brief response to Bob's additional $.02 - The wishbone isn't expensive? My catalog shows it's $136.95! Well, I guess it depends what you consider expensive but, in my neck of the woods, $136.95 is

<< My question is: How do you know if your kingpins are bad or if the swivel is bad ???? Does one wear out and not the other (softer steel on the kingpin ?) Most places sell just the kingpins or comp

AHA! I'm glad somebody noticed this ('cause it never dawned on me) - I'm looking at the Sprite-Midget catalog, and Bob must be looking at the MGB catalog (silly me), but the price difference is quite

Because of the method of construction. The MGB "wishbone" is a three piece, bolt together assembly made up of two "rails" (one front one rear) and a spring pan. The Midget,on the other hand, is a one
