We’ve written several Tech Tips describing fatigue failures associated with the Tiger front cross members including spreading to original specifications and strengthening and re-enforcing operations, but it recently occurred to me that we’ve never made a comprehensive list and explanation of the expected problem areas in the rest of the Tiger chassis. Even without accident damage, many Tiger chassis have experienced some fatigue or environmental degradation at this age. The more severe the history (accidents, rust, high performance engines, aggressive driving) the higher the probability that some level of degradation is present. The positive side of this is the fact that we have a fairly large experience base and most of the problems occur in a similar pattern on all chassis. It is also my experience that most owners rarely, if ever, give their Tigers the detailed inspections they really need to avoid having small problems turn into major failures
