Car is thought to be late 60s (I just haven't got around to trying to establish with certainty). South African built cars could be different too...
But we used the discs and callipers from my old diff, so braking performance should not be any different.
I will have a look at the bushings too, but I think those might be OK. Just in terms of "side wiggle" the rear end of my car actually feels quite firm (for a Giulia).
I don't think we're on the softest shock setting at the rear so that may also be worth looking at. I must say though that I always felt my car to be quite neutral, and since improving the rear traction there's a bit more understeer in sharper corners. In the longer sweeps the car still feels quite neutral. What's the tendency with Giulias normally - over/understeer. I'd think softening up the back would promote further understeer. Is my thinking correct?
Thanks for the advice - I'll let you know how it goes.
