Hi Dave,
Look at item #65 in the Moss catalog, described as an Idler Lever. =
It=E2=80=99s a carrier for the linkage on the passenger side but can we =
worn without really noticing it. You need to just grab it and see if it =
moves up or down, might need to disconnect the ling at that point.
=20
Additionally, put it back on the ground and have someone sit in the car =
and move the steering back and forth in the =E2=80=9CPlay=E2=80=9D spot =
while you look underneath for movement.

Thanks, Bill. There is no movement when testing at the 6 and 12 o'clock =
positions (bearings are new and appropriately tightened). =20
=20
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...

Is it in the linkage or the wheel bearings? If you can get that =
movement when you grab the wheel at 12 & 6, then re-check the bearing =
tightness. =20
=20
If the linkage, and not the steering box, check the bushings in the =
idler arm. BTDT. =20

Hey all ~
=20
I've rebuilt the front suspension and steering on my TR3A=20
including the steering box and all steering components. I have=20
checked fit and function as best as I can but, with the front=20
end on jackstands and grabbing the wheel at the 3 and 9=20
o'clock positions , I note that there is about 1/4 to 3/8" "play."=20
Is this normal? Should there be zero play in the front wheels?
=20
Thanks for any insights....
