[TR] TR3A rear spring "fulcrum" bolt

[Art McEwen]

Thanks all,  I'm chasing a banging noise in the rear and I thought maybe 
the front silent block was perished and allowing the spring to move 
around on the bolt but it's not that bad so I'm just bolting everything 
back up.  I think what I'll do over the winter is construct a vice to 
apply inward pressure to the bolt and maybe tighten it every couple of 
weeks to see if that removes it.    I think the noise is the result of 
the shocks sliding on their mounting bracket holes which have become 
more slots then holes.
