Since my car was a TR-4A, the trunions were different. I didn't have any
trouble with them (I used old ones that appeared to be in good condition).
The main problem I have seen with TR-4 trunions is wear on the shaft that
presses in to the trunion, where the lower A-Arms ride. Sometimes I have
seen wear on the ID of the trunion, as indicated by too much movement
between the trunion and the vertical link.

While we are on the front ends of tr-4,s . how about the trunnions? has
anyone had any trouble with them ? I crack tested
all the hubs, spindles , modified the the vertical links , and cracked
tested them . installed new bearings and races . I always install new
bearing with every new car i prepare . that way you start out knowing what
you have . I also replaced the inner bushings on the lower a arms . that
was fun ! the guy before me used pvc from the plumbing store ! had a hell
of a time getting the right stuff . finally got the right bushings from
BFE .
