Thanks Dave!

Thanks Dave for some great information. I've actually changed my UCA's to SPC ones, so there should be plenty of adjustment in those. Looks like everyone else took your advice on the alignment gear, can't find any for sale anywhere!

I have the car on axle stands at the sill jack points and there was a disconcerting amount of flex as I lowered the jack off the k frame. :shock: So the jack went straight back up to take the weight of the front end! I'll try raising or lowering the k frame to see if I can relieve any residual ...

Thanks Pete, I did think the grooves were for the clip. The mount looks a bit battered, hopefully they've not peened it over to hold the bar in.

Looks like more shopping for me then!

So, I've read about as much as I can find online about refurbishing the front suspension and made a start yesterday.

Everything was coming apart nicely until I got to the torsion bar. It doesn't appear to have the circlip in the rear mount. The pic shows the rear mount. Is this where the clip ...

keep in mind with no damping in steering at all a metal spoked wheel will break a finger if you hit a curb
