Rear Suspension improvements
Thanks for the help with the brake judder chaps. I've Polybushed the top trunnions, replaced the tiebar bushes with new rubber and changed the damper oil for lawnmower stuff. The judder has gone.

Hi, This is my first post, so please be gentle. My daughter has a '65 four-door, and has just passed her test, so its now been used regularly. Things are going reasonably well apart from a wiper problem. Well, actually, there's also a suspension problem, oh and an oil leak problem, but I'll post sep...
