[TR] TR3 front suspension

[TERRY SMITH]

No kidding.  I visited a friend as he was doing front suspension on a huge 70's model Olds.  Had the car on jacks and was under it beating the ball joint with a BFH, shaking the car.  I convinced him to put the jackstands standing nearby under the car.  Three blows later, the car fell of the jack.

I still shiver at the memory.

And he lived to be in my wedding a few months later.
