Griff & Chim use the same full polyurethane (red) kit as shown in the MotoClan catalog.
Is the full undercar suspension kit worth the 400 pound price?

The rear diff kit and shock bushings are not included in the kit, nor are the 4 upper front wishbone bushings, so including those separately will increase the total cost.....

Anyone bought & done the full undercarriage kit? Thoughts? Difficulties? Sounds like a Winter storage project timeframe..
Better to replace only certain bushing locations rather than a "full kit" ?

As an early car ..has the car got one piece top front wishbones and all the thrust washers ATM? IF so, then, there is a cross over of incorrect rear differential bolts that pull out the diff and twist/break the rear bracket. IMHO, the OE bush with thrust washers is the best until you move to the Powerflex Black kit (it has internal liners and is a lot more money). A@

IMHO the car is as good as it gets on standard bushes with thrust washers. On the rear It helps to change the MK1 ARB brackets for MK2 and control/modify the top camber adjuster inner washer (the upright punches over the std inner washer and this allows the upright to shunt for/aft) and it bends the top wishbone (BUT then, that applies to every TVR from 92-on).

Washer in S/S, ID to the original and OD to the thrust.
