Thanks for the note Ken. Several years ago I could feel some roughness when turning the steering wheel. Turned out the top inner worm gear race was pitted. The inner bearing races being machined as p

Assuming for the moment that the front suspension components are all in good condition, meaning the king pin bushings, wheel bearing shimming/adjustment, tie rod ends & steering worm & peg are all in

trying to get the tight spot in the straight ahead position is not going to happen. For some reason the tight spot is just to the left of straight ahead on all Healey's. David Nock British Car Specia

Yes, I agree. I hope no one thought I was suggesting they adjust the toe-in until the tight spot was straight ahead! Theoretically, this would be possible, if you didn't care what amount of toe-in yo

I just replaced my steering worm with a DW version and peg and now no tight spot at all. Steering is much nicer and easier, since I also added those swivel pin roller bearings. John 64 & 66 BJ8s ____

Actually I DON'T know that it would be possible. If the "tight spot" is at or near center at any toe setting what would cause it to change while adjusting toe? Turning the track rod to adjust the toe

The ancestor to the 'big' Healey front suspension and steering was the A40 Devon. With little modification this was applied to our cars. It was beefed up from the BN2 on but still basically the same

Assume for the moment that the tight spot is perfectly centered & both wheels are toed-in exactly 1/8" each. Now, if we adjust (decrease) the toe-in by turning the track rod (making it effectively l

Thanks for that information. I would like to see the workshop manual section for alignment when a A40/A70 has adjustable side rods. I wonder if it addressed the tight spot. Ken Freese 65 BJ8 _______

The point I'm trying to make is that the steering arms and outer tie rods are symmetrical on both sides of the car and the movement of the steering arm ends will be mirrored, opposite but identical.

I cannot find anything in A40/A70 workshop manuals but there is something in Austin Service Journal Volume 16, December 1947. Here Austin was going to great lengths to introduce and explain this new
