Erm ..

Maybe it's a combination of both then (spring and bush twist) Conor?

I've just been out and had a play with the Ranger and although the top
nut / safety bracket things do turn a bit with the road wheels they
don't seem to move linearly with them (and no where near as far) ...
and those bushes are 27 years old and the springs are very new and
very stiff (HD springs)?

On the previous springs, if the road wheel was in the air and the
track rod end disconnected you turn the wheel to extremes and the top
nut would hardly move at all?

Bottom line, if I have to go to roller top mounts because of how the
coilovers affect the top cup / bush setup then that's 'ok' as long as
it doesn't add too much to the overall cost of this project or have
any detrimental effect on the steering etc?

All the best ..
