Thanks, Bill. There is no movement when testing at the 6 and 12 o'clock
positions (bearings are new and appropriately tightened).
I suppose it could be the linkage but, since all parts are new, I wouldn't
know where to start. Not sure how to 'tighten up' the front end linkage.
Maybe I've been 'spoiled' by the rack-and-pinion setup I installed in my
TR6, some years back. Even the peg on the steering box drop arm is new...
