A question for the cognoscenti :-)
How much "spring" should there be in the lower A arms? (the car is a TR250,
but I imagine it also holds true for others) If I attach them to the frame,
I have about a quarter-inch gap either side of the trunnion on the passenger
side. The gap is minimal on the driver's side. The converse is also true:
If I build the suspension on the bench and present it to the car, some
effort is required to attach and tighten them. I should add that all parts
are new and I am using neoprene bushings.
Perhaps I am being too obsessive here - and the fix would presumably require
frame alterations - but before I "tighten it all up", I'd be interested in
your collective thoughts.
