Macel, I had a similar problem when I modified my TR4A suspension. I had =
fitted the TR6 lower inner 2 stud frame mounts and the back up plates =
for additional strength over the single stud original TR4A inner mounts. =
I needed to loosen the lower mounts to the frame to allow the upright to =
easily attach to the upper ball joint. Once I did that everything went =
together as it should and I then tightened the the lower mounts to the =
frame. There was enough movement in the frame holes which allowed the =
lower A- Arms to move and make the upright out of position. Get all of =
the parts together before you final tighten the lower inner frame =
mounts.=20

Of course having the trunnion properly sided is important too.

Quoting Dave : "... of course the trunnions are sided...". Unbelievable, =
but the left lower trunnion is mounted on the right side of the car and =
vice versa. I have worked on the front suspension during 5 evenings till =
01.00 am and still didn't see it, although these trunnions are marked RH =
and LH. I noticed it this morning when starting to fit adjustable upper =
inner fulcrum pins. When correctly fitting the lower outer trunnion =
bolt, only the part of the upright that is screwed in the trunnion is =
allowing a little movement , the upper ball joint could not be forced =
between the upper (original)wishbones. This is the case on both sides of =
the car and the upper ball joint is 1cm more to the front than the lower =
trunnion when the car is level(=3D a little negative caster). I'll =
report on this forum when I've swapped the trunnions and uprights next =
week.
Of course I don't want to blame anyone. Everyone does make mistakes and =
this TR4A of Bob Kramer is a very good car with many great features. I'm =
very pleased with it and I expect to run in the front.
Marcel.

RevingtonTR has adjustable upper, inner fulcrum pins, which allow camber =
adjustment, but also allow the upright to find a happy place without =
force.  I would think that if everything is within factory specs, the =
upright should align as long as you have the 3 degree trunnion.  Of =
course the 3 degree trunnions are sided.

The adjustable fulcrum pin is probably not allowed by your rule book.  I =
use them on my TR3 to get negative camber without modifying/shortening =
the upper arms.  These adjustable pins can be flipped depending on the =
ride height.  They also come with spacers that fit between the ball =
joint and the A-arms for further caster adjustment.

All the parts are TR-4A-TR6, so the trunnions are 3=B0 (all TR trunnions =
that have removable trunnion bolts are handed, trunnions with pressed in =
pins can be 0=B0 or 3=B0).
"...the lower trunnion should rotate around the bolt..." If I understand =
what you mean, I don't believe this is correct : the trunnion bolt is =
clamping the distance pieces (short pieces of steel tube that slide over =
the bolt and rotate in the outer wishbone bushings) onto the trunnion =
and hence the bolt, trunnion and distance pieces should rotate together =
and only the wishbones can rotate in respect to the bolt (and trunnion =
and distance pieces). I have assembled the suspension in this way, =
eliminating thus the play of the trunnion on the bolt and this is the =
reason I had to drill new holes , more to the rear, in order to get the =
upperr end of the uprights between the outer ends of the upper =
wishbones. All parts and also the chassis seem to be all right. Maybe I =
get it wrong anyway with the assembling of the suspension parts

Do you have the TR-4A uprights and trunions?  The TR-4A trunion is just =
the brass piece that fits in between the lower wishbone arms and a bolt =
slides through it, instead of the fulcrum pin (pressed into the =
trunion), as you would have had on your TR-3.  The lower trunion should =
rotate on the bolt, and the wishbone arm bushings.  There is a left and =
right hand, and when properly installed, you should have about 3 degrees =
of positive castor on both sides.  I raced a TR-4A for 25 years, so I =
know the suspension intimately!  Good luck.

Subject: [Fot] TR4A front suspension.


In June 2014 I bought Bob Kramer's TR4A racecar after I crashed my TR3 =
at the Zandvoort circuit (The Netherlands). It's a great car and it will =
get better. Of my TR3, I only kept the engine and overdrive dogbox  =
Overhauling the front suspension, I found that the lower trunnion was =
moving on the bolt instead of the bushed lower wishbones : the distance =
pieces in the wishbones where shorter than original, so the trunnion was =
not clamped by these distance pieces when fastening the bolt. Correcting =
this, the upright has less play now, only a little in the trunnion, and =
this upright with balljoint can't be forced anymore between the outer =
ends of the upper wihbones, the balljoint is 1/2" too far to the rear. =
Turning the upper wishbones to the rear (by moving the fulcrum pin) =
isn't a good option, because binding will occur. I've drilled new holes =
for the brackets for the inner ends of the lower wishbones : the =
suspension is moving without any binding now but I don't know if I will =
leave it like that. I wonder if something is wrong with the uprights? =
(less than 3=B0 caster?) If I measure the caster, I find 2.2=B0 on both =
sides, but probably that isn't proving anything. The chassis is as new, =
no damage. Any idea's someone?
Another question : trying to get at zero bump steer, the best I get at =
by moving the steering rack is a J : the wheels are toeing in when =
lowered more than 3 cm below ride height (minimal to 5cm, then more and =
more toe in). Bending the steering arms to the outside, almost touching =
the brake disks now, has straightened the J a little.  Is it possible to =
eliminate the bump steer completely, or have we(TR4A-TR6) to accept some =
bump steer in the least important part of the suspension travel?
Marcel.
