Spurious negativity such as short life of rubber bushes, and handling? edit

I think this is unfounded, unless incompetents were tightening up bolts without the wheels on the ground, which damages the bushes on any car. My uncle had one and it achieved a high mileage with very few problems. I did change a CV joint gaiter for him once, which was easy, and I also noted that the handling was good, as you would expect in a front wheel drive car with wishbone suspension. I had a Mini at the time and I rated the Triumph as having nearly as good handling.

There was however a serious weakness in the front lower suspension mounts on early models, which would have been subject to a recall and replacement. This was the metal brackets, not the rubber bushes. Tiger99 (talk) 19:48, 7 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
