Re: Cortina Model Differences

There are also some swaybar differences.
The TC 6 cylinder has a front swaybar with mounts that bolt to the chassis rails, and no rear swaybar. All of the TDs have a rear swaybar and no front swaybar. The TC four has no factory swaybars at all.
The front crossmember in 6 cylinder TD also has bracing bars between the upper spring perch, and the engine mount on both sides of the car, probably the TD four has this same crossmember not sure.
Get a cortina cornering under power and they will generate roll that unpeels the back end sends it to oversteer. The transition from understeer to oversteer is not pleasant. The rear bar turns this into a smoother slide. Basically they do not handle at all well in stock form.
I have a TD cortina hillclimb car and have dismantled quite a few. Honro, I am in the ACT, if you want to have a look at mine (I have TC and TD bars in mine) send a PM.
