Toby, that's not been my experience (or maybe I'm doing something wrong). I replaced the outer torsion bar bushings on the rear of my Square with the polyurethane ones from Bugpack, and have had a terrible squeak ever since. Is there some magical lube I can put on these babies, or should I replace the inners too, and that might fix it. I had trouble getting the spring plates off to do the inners (I think Craig Woolston had mentioned the same problem, but I wasn't around to hear the answer), meaning I couldn't get them off. I know it's a repeat, but can anyone tell me how to get the spring plates off of my '71 Squareback? Jake Kooser '71 Squareback (the little girl) '66 type 1 roadster (the project) |
