[TR] Subject: TR3 Castor Angle?

[Catpusher at aol.com]

The zero castor may differ from a new SUV, but it is a plus with the  
standard steering box and the steering friction issues that castor adds to that  
system.  I rather enjoyed the ability to steer the TR3 into a constant  
radius corner and have it follow with no further force required. 
The option is to fit the late TR4/4A/250/TR6  front suspension, which  has 
3 Degrees of castor: good for racing, but do you do that?

When I ask my alignment guy why the steering on my  car does not try to
return to center after a turn he explained it was  because the castor was 
set
at nil and is not adjustable.

Is there an  alternative way to make the steering a little more driver
friendly?  I  have not gone to R&P steering as I am trying to keep this car
as  original as  possible.
