[TR] TR6 - Front Axle Upgrade kits

[Irv Korey]

Contact Tony Drews at tony at tonydrews.com.

His father Jack designed this kit, and Tony can provide you with the
directions as well as replacement shims if you want/need them. When
properly set up, this kit eliminates brake pad knockback, which is a common
TR issue after hard cornering. Your wheel that is hard to turn is not set
up properly and you'll end up toasting another bearing.
