Peter,
When thinking of buying a TR6 a number of years ago I took along a TR
specialist. One of the tests he carried out on the road test was to drive at
very slow speed in a tight circle on full lock, both left and right.
Apparently this test would show up worn driveshafts. I am sorry, I forget
what kind of noise he was listening for.
Perhaps this may help isolate your problem.
Regards,
Adrian
