[TR] Subject: TR3 Castor Angle?

NO, not a racer, it just seemed more noticeable since the front-end
alignment.
 
Thanks to all that responded, consensus is that this is a normal TR3 set up.

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?
 
TR Regards,
Hardy

	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.
