I need to redbush my front end and would like some input from the group. TRF has 3 different kits: stock rubber, performance urethane, and race quality nylatron with prices almost doubling from rubbe

I'm a big fan of urethane for a street driven car. There are different quality levels of urethane in the market, it pays to shop around. I do not like the new rubber parts that we get from any of the

Roger Williams ("How to restore your TR4/5/250/6") recommends urethane for the top bushings (only) as he feels the standard rubber bushings are under designed. I went with stock rubber because, well

Urethane is no problem if you use silicone based grease. This is what Ted at TSI recommended w/ his kit. 5,000 miles and no squeaks yet. Lube any place where the rubber touches metal and use anti sei

I am on a mission to change everyone's misconception about nylatron. Why? Because I used to have the exact same opinion, as I was always led to believe that nylatron was for racing only. That all cha

Of course, that is mostly what we express on this list, our opinions. In my opinion, the ride is not harsh. Better? Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with urethane, but my Nylatron does not

Hmm... after some time spent postulating why Vance feels his TR6 had a harsh ride, I have found the answer. He is one of those 6'5" TR6 owners and in a crazed fit one day he removed the drivers seat

While you can carefully follow the Bentley procedure, it would much safer to use a good spring sompressor. As in the threaded rod type that would take the place of the shock absorber, not the externa

If your springs are totally knackered, you might be able to remove them without a spring compressor, but in my experience, the assertion by Mr. Williams is totally wrong. You most def. need a spring
