Re: Roadster Front suspension parts req'd

Not sure quite what damage you have done, but the usual failure is corrosion between the upright and the trunnion.
It is possible to fit a Walford trunnion that cuts its own thread.
As I am currently (allegedly) not an MOC member, it's lucky I can post this advice.

I may have misunderstood can you identify the parts
here or there

It may be that part 37 has been twisted as a part of accident damaged, as identified on other incidents.

Try this pic, is it the passenger side you are talking about ? I probably have used spares for both sides anyway

E mail the info on exactly which bits you need to me at home, my details are in Pitstop

Mark, as per post #5, get in touch if you want help

I don't know if they are handed, so which side of the car is it...............................and I shall need your address to send the items

Re: Roadster Front suspension parts req'd

The only parts that are handed on the front suspension, according to the parts list are:
Item 37 Pin and stub shaft swivel/Steering, suspension upright
Item 45 Trunnion/Lower Swivel pin
Item 60 Steering Lever

I reiterate, if the lower arm assembly has been accident damaged, Items 1 and 2, I would suspect that the Steering suspension upright may also be twisted.
