Guy, Alignment settings changed first. The car was set up to understeer at the limit. Halfway through production the shocks were changed from quality Aristons (which I'm told are identical to Konis, perhaps built under license?) to cheaper non-adjustable Telecars. I don't think that had any effect on handling though. Sway bars were unchanged. Euro cars got a bigger rear bar as an option only, on the GTS. Mike Sent from my iPad

Thanks all for the follow-up. Now this nugget: "And retuning the suspension so it was a safer handling car" I'm not aware of any changes to springs, shocks, anti-roll bars from 71 to 74, did anything change ? GD __________________________________________________________________

Over on Facebook "Motorology" someone is claiming the L bumper in front stopped a wind noise / buffeting issue. Sounds like malarkey to me, but I don't have pre-L to make a comparison to. Was this ever a thing ?
