Paul Parky Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 The steering in my TR3A had become slightly vague, 1/8 turn each way to keep it in a straight line. It has a r+p conversion from around 18years ago fitted. The column looks like a modified tr3 and tr4, the shaft has a join in the middle, the upper diameter is 22mm and the lower is 19mm. I found that the lower bush and nylon insert were worn. The chance of getting the bush before the new year was slim so I thought I would improvise. I had some BX bushes in stock, 20mm I.d which I could modify to 19mm. I turned an adapter bush that I pressed into the lower column tube then pressed in the BX bush. There was also movement if you pulled the steering wheel so I modified the steering wheel boss so that it fitted over the tube and ran on the end. I then turned a sleeve to space between the lower end of the tube and the first steering knuckle. Still slight play in the steering but I think that the rack may be slightly worn. I’ll investigate at a later date! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
