Correct on both points, except that on TeriAnn's suggestion I used a plastic
known as UHMW (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene).  UHMW is both
slicker and stronger than nylon (also stronger than Teflon which was my
first choice).  P/N 76445A24 @

It made a noticeable difference.  You'll never get a TR3 to ride like a
Cadillac, but at least it doesn't resemble a lumber wagon any more!

Might also be worth checking your rear shocks.  They have a tendency to come
loose on the mounts, and for the rubber in the end links to go away.  I've
also seen them fail such that they would not move.
