Re: [Mgs] MGA Inner Tie Rod Adjustment

["PaulHunt73" <paulhunt73@virginmedia.com>]

There should be a resistance for the MGB at least, to ensure no free play - 
32 to 52 pound *inches* on the rod to produce articulation.  The 
ball housing is adjusted to produce this, the 'locknut' flange has to be 
prised out of the indentations on the housing to allow it.
