On my TR4A I run the stock set up at the trunnion. For the lower control arm=
inner pivots I use the factory Nylon/Delrin bushings for a TR3 lower inner c=
ontrol arm bushings. I install grease fittings on the a arm and keep these g=
reased.=20
On the upper inner control arm I also use the same TR3B lower inner control a=
rm
Bushings. They replace the rubber inserts perfectly. I keep them well liubed=
with oil.=20
We also did a TR6 this way. Works very well and quite robust.
