Re: Squire's voitures

I jacked this side up today and there does appear to be a little play. I'll check the castellated nut and tigh...

Re: 1968 Austin 1100 Mk1 (Take 2)
It was compromised to an extent, but you must remember this was a state-owned car manufacturer and the cars were developed and built in the midst of the early 1970's strife including the 3-day week.
