Hi, I have had my TR6 a few weeks now and need some front end bushings
(upper) and tie rod ends. Also, I can feel the road bumps too much in
the rear end. I checked and the rear dampeners are full. For the hard
bumps, I understand that the next likely candidate is the springs
although my brother suggested that some tires on their own can give a
very hard ride. My tires are Uniroyal Tiger Paws with less than half
tread left. I had thought to put on my car what Moss calls competition
normal height springs (25% stronger) all the way around and polyurethane
bushings on the trailing arms. Besides running the above by you folks
for any ideas or corrections, I do have some direct questions. If I
only need upper A-Arm bushings, can I replace the uppers with
polyurethane if the rest are rubber? Also, am I being foolish not to
replace all of the front end bushings at this time? I am trying to get
some driving in as soon as possible!
For the tie rod ends figuring some labor saved, I am going to a new
quick ration unit with the alloy mounts. For clarification, I don't
mind spending money where it counts; I just don't want to spend too much
money on the entire project. Thanks for any help. Jim
