FW: [T3] Front Beam


Actually the rubber isolators for the front beam are not symmetrical fore
and aft, at least not the lower one.  Check out my website at:

http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jaransonT3/jaransonT3/LoweringPage.html

There is an explanation and some measurements of the front end geometry.  I
also have a picture of the rubber isolators that clearly shows the thickness
difference fore and aft.

Check it out, but I doubt that this is your problem.  Be sure to find a shop
that will look at and follow the Bentley procedure and spec.  I was
fortunate to find a shop here in the Detriot area that let me get down in
the pit with them and read them the spec and stuff.
