Having inspected my stub axles, they are shot, in that they have worn heavily owing to bearing 'issues'. Seeing as I'm about to fit new bearings, I thought it worthwhile to replace the stub axles at the same time BUT no-where seems to have them listed on the internet.

Does anyone know if they are available anywhere?

Does anyone know which springs are best, the heavy duty springs which keep the ride height the same, or the uprated springs, which lower the height about an inch.

I will keep the standards struts and shocks and not fit Spax.
Poly bushes are also planned.

When I investiged I found that the rear tie bar bushes were shot. It is certainly an experience driving a dolomite with shot rear tie rod bushes.

It took me a while to find out which way round the new bushes should be fitted but I did in the end find a note that points out that there was a correction to official repair manual issued.

I appreciate that it might be considered a fair price, if it is, I shall pay it - but I just wanted to ask if anyone knew of a less expensive retailer for them.

Moss Europe used to do them but they're out of stock - any other suggestions?

My Dolomite 1850 seems to be developing some difficulties in the steering department. The symptoms are as follows:
-Stiffness while at slow speeds and under cornering
-Vagueness of steering (not very precise)
-It feels a bit a bit "notchey". I have to turn heavily to begin the turn but then it feels quite loose on the exit of turns.

The following may help with the diagnosis.

just missed a nice re-furbed steering rack on ebay (which sucks) so I'm re-furbing the orginal with an uprated UJ, repainted, new gaitors etc.

I also got a pair of gaitors which were meant for herald etc, I was assured these are dolly compatible but seem shorter to me, any thoughts?

Car will ultimately be a fast road item with maybe the odd track day.

Wish to keep my teeth in place for a bit longer so I was going to go with 330lbs fronts 175lb rears.

Will my teeth survive such a setup!!!!!

Also has anyone put bigger antiroll bars on front and rear to reduce roll.
