Not Ranked
Hi David,
I just got in from the shed where I've been modifying the Jag steering arms on the front hubs. I'm modifying them to put the tie rod end on the top rather than underneath. from having a good look at it and a bit of a measure it should improve the bump steer characteristics. It will also allow me to fit wider rims to the front. With 17" rims I think 7.5" wide is about the maximum the way it is. I should gain enough clearance for another inch.
I used Nolothane bushes all through the front and kept the original Ford bushes in the rear. On the rear only the inner bushes on the arms are rubber anyway. The bushes at the hub/upright are spherical bearings on the ford AU. My rear swaybar rubbers are nolathane and I plan to use Nolothan on the front sway bar.
I need to see Leeroy to take some more measurements off his wheels so I don't stuff up my order with Ozwheels. I'll call jim tomorrow and see how he's fixed for Tuesday afternoon.
Cheers
