To add to the previous post, from getting the car it cornered fine going left but always felt ‘twitchy’ on right turns on country roads and had a tendency to steer to the left. Now the front silentblocs were visibly perished so back in 2016 it was decided to rebuild the front cradle.
What we found was a bent left side lower suspension arm, now how could that chunky bit of metal get bent? No idea but it would take a heavy clout on the front end to do it but it was visible using a straight edge on the cradle once removed from the car as shown below.
Now that may have been part of the reason for the indifferent handling as the nearside track was shorter than the offside but even with a replacement suspension arm, the distance was still marginally shorter between the axles on the left side of the car so spacers were fitted between the cradle and Jambonne to balance it out.
The car is very different to drive now so whilst your cradle is out, check everything over for straightness and check the distances both sides as the cars have been around a long time now and most have vague distant histories.
