[TR] Vertical link problems - TR2/3

[Randall]

Angelo,

It sounds to me as though you are assembling in the wrong order.  The arms &
joints should all be installed before adding the spring, so there should be
nothing to compress at this point.

The VL should still turn freely, right up to the point where you connect the
tie rod.  The ball joint should be loose enough that you can move the
tapered pin with your fingers (with some resistance/difficulty).  Other
possibilities include having the upper arms installed wrong (the right arm
should overlap the left); the vertical link being bent (Herman van den Akker
wrote of having to look through 6 of them to find two that were not bent);
and having the wrong trunnions (later TR4 trunnions look nearly identical,
but have a slight angle built into them).

The tapered link must be installed firmly, do NOT leave it even slightly
loose.  If there is any motion whatsoever at the taper, it will quickly ruin
not only the ball joint but the vertical link as well.
