Hi peeps as said top and bottom arms needed for my 72 buggy, i have a set in but they are just way too tight/stiff. They must be new ones or similar so i just want to see whats out there if anyone has a looser set ? or advice.

get some from FIRSTLINE (british manufacturer)they are the only decent ones I have ever bought new.

I fitted 3 sets before I came accross this company  ::)

... But
1) make sure they are long enough for the arms. I had to un-mount a Firstline one that I pressed in because although supposedly correct the body was 15mm shorter than the one that came out.
2) Make sure you line up the notches fore/aft - if it has them, the FL ones do but some others don't

Yep - despite being labelled as the correct ones by major FL dealer...
