I have a rubber block at both ends of the front spring. They've been there since 2013 and about 10,000 miles.
There's no discernible change in spring stiffness and enough give in the rubber to allow flexing with no problem.
The steering is now absolutely predictable. I was thinking how well it steered the other day when doing 60mph on the Borders roads holding the wheel lightly between finger and thumb.
The tendency Sevens have to swerve has gone completely.
The rubber block is cut out of the tread of a small tyre (Citroen Saxo?). It is not a tight fit, only compressed when the spring tries to move.
