  1. I’ve always looked at replacing just the bearings, but look carefully and parts costs are low enough to not be worth the hassle.

  2. I fitted Monroe air assist shocks to a Ford which allowed softer leaf springs. The ride was 1000% better but body roll was horrible. I fitted two solenoid valves. One isolated the shocks across the car (body roll fixed) the other isolated the compressor. They don’t like starting under load.

  3. My Fiat had flange head bolts on the sump. They were really rusty. I replaced with socket heads and thick 20mm washers with Loctite 518 gasket replacer on the washers. It’s stayed looking good with no signs of electrolytic corrosion.

  4. Fit a bypass filter to the engine’s oil system. They have sub 2 micron filters taking 10% of the flow. The oil lasts longer as does the engine. Regular lab tests will tell you when the oil needs to be changed.
