Hey guys
I'm about to install new suspension bushings all around on my wife's '76
TR6. Do the polyurethane bushigs make that much difference? I ordered the
regular ones and now I'm second guessing my decision. Also, I've heard more
than one Triumph with squeaky bushings...do I need to lube these things
before installing? Thanks for your help...
Sandy
