RearEnd Twitch

This was me! It's an interesting idea as I haven't done anything to the
front suspension units yet. 
I intended to re-build them this winter but may now bring it forward. Did
you need any
other parts apart from the top mounts/bearing?. Also where did you source
the mounts from?
Did I read on the list that someone had a problem with a front suspension
overhaul kit, especially
the top mounts.?

I intend replacing the shocks with spax's adjustable, the springs, as the
DPO replaced just one of them?,  
the top mounts and the bearings.

Regards

Either in the rack or in the top bushes. I think your pump will be OK.

I have just renewed my top mounts and bearings due to debonding of the
rubber
on one side. The steering now feels a lot more positive. I also believe it
has
significantly reduced the "twitch" I was experiencing which I had put down
to
the rear half shaft spines. Someone on this list some time ago said they had
replaced all the bushes on the rear and greased the splines and still had
the
twitch - maybe the front top bearings can cause a similar effect???
