<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Serendipity! It just so happened that I had planned to be in the garage today, replacing a front shock on my ‘72 GT. I think the issue I had noticed was actually caused by a missing bolt on the front anti-roll bar; but I’m going ahead with the shock replacement since it’s here and paid for.
I noticed, during disassembly, that the manual calls for a spring washer under the castellated nut on the pin that attaches the shock A-arm to the kingpin. (If I have the terminology correct). My car was missing that spring washer.
Is that a reason for concern? Could it be effectively replaced with a flat washer? I couldn’t identify an item number for it in the Moss catalogue . . .
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the thread, especially Paul Hunt. And thanks in advance for your responses!
Phil
