In 1976 Rover decided to rubber mount the front subframe to reduce the amount of road noise transmitted through the bodyshell. This was a backward step as far as handling was concerned as even when new, the rubber mountings allowed a noticeable amount of subframe movement. The first thing that any racer worth his salt does is throw them in the dustbin! Maximum benefit is gained by replacing the two rubbers under the large top mounting bolts without drastically increasing transmitted road noise. If you are a serious racer improvements are also possible by replacing the lower mountings with our high tensile aluminium alternatives. Solid aluminium mountings are also available for the rear subframe. These are alloy high tensile trunnion mounts and are anodised blue. The kit also includes new fittings. Polyurethane bushes are also available for the rear subframe mounts. Supplied individually.
