[TR] Rack & pinion conversions for TR3's???

[A Daniel Cronin]

The steering arms are reversed to throw the tie rod end as close to the brake
disk as possible, the theory as I understand it is to lessen "bump steer". 
Unequal spacers were also used to further offset the connection point on the
steering are---3MM is about right according to Revington TR.

The steering arms are supposed to change as well, although I'm not certain
how necessary that is.  And I'm sure I don't need to point out that this
would be a good time to replace all the bushings, especially the ones in the
outer, lower A-arms.

Some people have reported having to grind clearance on the A-arms; but maybe
that's only after you modify them to reduce the camber or with aftermarket
wheels.
