Re: What did you do today?

Re: Squire's voitures

IMG_6851.JPG IMG_6850.JPG Apart from securing the ARB bracket which shouldn't have an effect on wheel alignment, the only other work I did was dismantle, clean and pack the wheel bearings. I jacked this side up today and there does appear to be a little play. I'll check the castellated nut and tigh...

Re: 1968 Austin 1100 Mk1 (Take 2)

It was compromised to an extent, but you must remember this was a state-owned car manufacturer and the cars were developed and built in the midst of the early 1970's strife including the 3-day week.

Re: Squire's voitures

I didn't notice any unusual wear on the former tyres and I did a few thousand miles on them. It's got king pins, coil springs and wishbones. I'm going to consult the workshop manual as it helpfully illustrates various types of tyre wear and possible causes, but I hate having anything to do with stee...
