My car has 3 degrees negative caster because the top wishbones are on the wrong side. Before fixing this problem I thought that I would have a look at the trunnions to make sure the left and right ha
Jim, I don't have a photo, but the 3 different trunnions (0 degree, 3 degree left, 3 degree right) look virtually identical. To see the difference, you must look closely at the angle between the pin
In addition, the 3 deg right and 3 deg left have opposite handed threads. That means you can't fit 0 degree trunions to both sides without swapping out vertical links. (I expect the 0 deg trunion wil
Its my recollection that TR2-3B and probebly early 4 vertical links also had a finer thread and more of it than the later 3 degree links on 4A and 6's. As far as the left and right hand threads goes,
Not sure about the thread pitch, but the length was definitely longer on TR2 through the end of TR4 than on 4A through 6. The threads remained the same on both sides through the end of TR4. The trun
I disagree. The late TR4 had the same vertical link on both sides, so the threads could not have been opposite handed. That changed with the TR4A. Randall ___________________________________________
My guess is they are right hand thread. But if the pitch is different then they are not interchangeable regardless of the direction. Dave _______________________________________________ Support Team.
So are you saying the TR4 had different links than either the TR3 or the Tr4A-6? Dave _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html This list suppor
No, the TR4 vertical links were the same as TR2-3. When the caster was added, the link itself did not change, only the location of it's upper end relative to the lower end. The A-arms, ball joint, t
Regarding my earlier post on having a pair of links on the bench and could advise which side took left hand and which took right, that comment was in refrence to 4A through 6 Vertical links, and in m

My first thought was that the whole lot was reversed 28 or so years ago (I've owned him for 23years). It sounds like I might have to inspect them off the car for that angle between the vertical and t

Actually I was hoping that they were marked L or R or even in French D or G. I had a look at the washers and they both seem flat normal ones. It seems that the only real way to easily tell is to take
So it doesn't hurt the trunions to crank them a couple degrees out of shape, then. My TR6 wasn't happy at all with the trunion cranked 6 deg out. Dave _______________________________________________
No, I didn't say that. The late TR4 took different trunnions than the TR2-early TR4; and being a "couple degrees out of shape" is the only difference between the three different trunnions (0 degree
Now you're confusing me. You said they didn't change trunions (or vertical links) when they added caster to the TR4. Now you say there are 0 and 3R and 3L trunions. Are these 3 deg trunions different
Well, I certainly didn't mean to say that ... what I tried to say is that the vertical link did not change. The trunnions DID change, and became different from side to side. Yes, they are unique (AF
