Ian,
1) Early TR4s had 0 degree and later TR4s had 3 degree. Maybe you're mixing
incorrect pieces and that is causing the binding? Should screw on easy and
remember to use grease - gear oil wasn't used until TR4As with the real short
trunnions.
2) Maybe your new trunnions are defective.
3) You can adjust the steering 'lock stops' by rotating that piece so that it
hits before the tires rub on body parts - then cinch it down.
Regards,
Carl

Three questions in a day - this is sad. I know that I have seen this
question before, but it's been a long day and I can't find it.
I am replacing the front suspension trunnions (3 degree version) with Moss
ones. They screw on nice until about 1/2 inch from the end of the vertical
link
then they bind up. By the time that they are at the bottom, they are very
hard to turn. The old ones were nice and smooth all the way down. Any
suggestions?
Also, once I am past that (hopefully), how do you adjust the steering lock
stop as it is offset?
Yet again, thanks.
Ian
