Do check the Enots before you go driving. If oil isn't getting into the kingpins bad things will happen fairly quickly.

I just read back over your previous posts about harshness of ride. I just changed from old and split Turbospeed crossplies to new Vredstein radials and the main differences I noticed were better directional stability and lighter low speed steering with the radials. Not much difference in harshness. The ride on my 406 is a bit harsh but I think that is probably due to the shock absorbers having done very little in twenty years. I am going to drive it for a while and see if it improves.
