Yes, especially if you also replaced the trunions and the pins that go
through the bushings are the original size. I had quite a bit of trouble
finding a machine shop that could handle the job. I gave the machinist the
bushings, control arms, and trunions so he could make the measurements.
> Does anyone have a source for some information on a front end re-build?
The manual has good pictures of the whole assembly, but the text is a little
"thin". The Moss catalog shows every part and where they go (a sort-of
assembly diagram).

I used anti-sieze compound with good results when I did my TR6 3 or 4 years
ago. Still squeek free.
