hi guys

well the new capri is turning out good, did a plug lead change next is the oil change and then setting the points. rebuilt the spare carb just waiting on gaskets and then will fit that should solve some issues,

the problem...... :duh:
when im driving along sometimes the steering wheel is fine other times it rocks left to right quite violently, i stopprd at a garage that had drift cars outside,figured they would know the capri. they did, but the guy checked underneath and said it was my rear steering bushes where :DeadHorse: but i have looked under, i dont know what part he is on about :duh:

can anyone post or pm me a pic? and what is a tca? and the other acronyms used? sorry im learning very fast that i should keep a toolbox in the boot!

last but not least, where do i get replacement parts?

TCA = Track Control Arm. The arm that provides lateral location to the bottom of the McPherson strut, usually with a rubber bush where it bolts to the chassis and a balljoint where it bolts to the strut/upright.
