Suspension components for classic British cars, covering coil springs, leaf springs, suspension bushes, wishbones, kingpins, anti-roll bars, suspension mounts and the associated suspension hardware. The suspension components on a British classic are typically simple in design but precise in operation, small amounts of wear in bushes, mounts and pivots accumulate to produce vague handling, uneven tyre wear and the steering wander that is the most common complaint on neglected British classic suspension.
Coil Springs and Leaf Springs
Coil springs for the popular British classic front suspensions are stocked in original-rate specifications across the major applications, with uprated and lowered springs available for performance and aesthetic preferences. Leaf springs for rear-leaf-sprung cars are stocked in original load-rated specifications, with parabolic and uprated alternatives available where these have been developed for the application.
Bushes
Suspension bushes are typically rubber in original specification, with polyurethane upgrade options widely available for owners seeking sharper handling and longer service life. The choice between rubber and polyurethane is a considered one, rubber bushes are quieter, absorb noise and small inputs better, and feel closer to the car as originally specified; polyurethane bushes deliver more direct response, sharper turn-in and generally better-defined steering feel, at the cost of some additional NVH transmission. Both are stocked across the major applications.
Wishbones, Kingpins and Front Suspension Hardware
Wishbones for double-wishbone front suspensions, kingpin assemblies and king pin reconditioning kits, ball joints, tie-rod ends and front suspension fasteners are stocked across the major applications. Wishbone reconditioning typically requires bush replacement and ball joint replacement together, as the labour to reach these components makes piecemeal replacement uneconomic.
Anti-Roll Bars and Suspension Mounts
Anti-roll bars in original-diameter specifications and uprated diameters are stocked, with anti-roll bar links, drop links, bushes and mounting hardware. Suspension subframe mounts, engine mounts and gearbox mounts that affect drivetrain attitude and suspension geometry are stocked across the major applications. The MGOC Spares British Classic Car Parts Suspension Components range encompasses coil springs, leaf springs, suspension bushes, wishbones, kingpins, ball joints, anti-roll bars, suspension mounts and suspension hardware for the British classics we serve. MGOC Spares is constantly expanding our range for these non-MG British classic marques, and new lines are being added to this section regularly.
