After restoring the TR3A, I took my car to a local alignment shop, that has an
excellent reputation for front alignment & suspension work, especially on
classics.
After adjusting the tie rods & checking alignment, the technician indicated to
me the car has a slight drift to the left. He indicated the left side has too
much positive camber 1.5 degrees the right side is .5 degrees.
I ask what would cause this too happen as I have not had any accidents or
damaged since I own the car from 1985. The car has always track straight no
drift. He indicated that the stub axle has probably worn and the wheel is
standing up out of alignment. Visually I can't tell looking at the wheels, but
driving the car you can feel a slight drift to the left.
Does this guy know what he is talking about. Do the sub axles need to be
replaced?
I would think if the camber is off, then the vertical link (moss#661-100) may
be bent or out of aligned. Any insight?
