[QUOTE="VeeDubMan, post: 630773, member: 3552"] I've had one of the original Red 9 Design EZ Rider front beams on my '71 for the past 12 years or so. It was the 2"-4" drop version. It gives a nice ride quality with an uprated anti-roll bar too, but at the last MOT, I had discussions with the tester about some travel in the trailing arms he'd noticed. Almost looks like the inner part of the trailing arm inside the torsion tube has some movement. Is there an inner bush in the tube as well as the outer bearing? Is that replaceable? If not, I'm tempted to go back to torsion leaves (stock width beam). Any differences between the beams that are now available? Limebug looks comprehensive but also looks like there are many other choices out there too. Not looking to go super-low (need to get across un-even campsites reliably!) and keeping stock width.
