If you look at original pictures of the Tiger you will see they sit

There is a spec in the shop manual ride height; check it.

Subject: [Tigers] Front Suspension
Since it has been so quiet, I thought I would throw one out. My front
suspension is sooo stiff and the height is 2-3 inches in my mind higher =
than
it should be. Rebuilt suspension, welded up per CAT instructions, stock
springs, Koni shocks - old and all new rubber etc.
The front has no bounce at all. First idea is to loosen upper and lower
control arm bolts, drive just a bit and then re-tighten. Can you put =
the
front anti sway bar on upside down - not sure is could be a problem or =
not.
Bushing grease on all new rubber?
Thoughts\ideas would be appreciated.
Joel Martin, MK1A
