I don't think there should be any play on the Mk1 setup.
Where is the the play ?, between the shock shaft and the bush in the top
mount or lower down ?
I know some modern cars do have a lot of play in the top mount when the
car is jacked up, like my Wife's Corsa, but it's by design.

Hi Jim,

mounts
The build manual for the saloon says fit an extra spacer in the Mk2
top mount, i guess that would apply to the Mk1 top mount as well.
Needs somebody with an early saloon build manual where the donor was
the Mk1 Fiesta.
Pretty sure the toe is parallel.
I have camber adjusting bolts on my 2+2, i will see if i can find the
settings i ended up with.

Hello Everyone,
The saloon is slowly coming along but the suspension has been a
irritating area to tackle.
First and foremost are mk1 top mounts supposed to have play in them
when jacked up? I have refurbed both ours and fitted new bearings and
they still do this and the car doesn't have a vague feel. I've never
driven it hard yet as I simply don't think it's ready.
Secondly does anyone have any information as regards recommended
castor and camber/ toe in and out. Having now fitted camber bolts and
having a re-tinker this afternoon after a rather dodgy first geometry
set up.
It now seems to drive a hell of alot better. But if the mounts are
not meant to have play in them I'm guessing it's my final suspension
hurdle to get it nice and tight. Unfortunately the mounts are not
mounted the same as on the fiesta so your adjustable mounts will do
castor not camber as designed.
Cheers
Mick
