According to the list archives, the consensus among the folks who
have discussed it on the list in the past seems to be that installing
a rear sway bar on a TR3 is not helpful. Several people recommended
installing a front sway bar only. I think I am going to start there,
and see how I like it - I am planning on replacing all the rubber
bushings, front and rear, with urethane, too.
I'm contemplating the purchase of some parts from the various winter
parts sales - mostly the items I need to finish off my suspension -
and am wondering about the sway bars available for a TR3 (not a
TR3A). I've got TS15098L, a small-mouth, disassembled in my garage.
TRF lists their bar as being applicable only to the 3A's, while Vicky
Brit lists one that works on all 2-3B cars.
My question is: what's the difference? Why would one work, and not
the other? What do I want to get? The list archives point to
favoring the ADDCO bars, and that's what VB offers -- though I'd
rather spend my money at TRF.
Any advice, words of wisdom, laughter?
Thanks,
Dan

1957 TR3, TS15098L, now with an O! Undergoing frame-off restoration
begun 9/99. Currently awaiting warm weather and funds.
1977 Spitfire, FM64159U, with an O. In need of a comprehensive
restoration (again); will probably become a Spit6 or a Spit8.
