I finally decided to pay attention to the front suspension on my TR6. The
car has always driven very well but had too much negative camber in the front
wheels. I took all the shims out a couple or three years ago and it
improved, but not exactly right.
I have taken the suspension apart and have found what I consider to be
excess play between the vertical link and the trunnion. I am cleaning
everything
up and rebushing but would like the lists opinion on the fit. If I pin the
lower A arms to the floor with my foot (upper A arms removed) so the vertical
link is, well . . .vertical, I can wiggle the vertical link at the ball joint
about 1/4" back and forth which would translate to camber at the wheel. All
of the play I am talking about is between the link and the trunnion. I
cannot turn the trunnion down any more.
This is my question. Since the link is steel and the trunnion is brass,
will replacing just the trunnion correct this? What can I expect for play
with
new trunnions?
TIA
