I have a '76 TR6. I've done extensive work, replaced almost
everything. New Daytons wire wheels, tires, four wheel alignment, etc.
I have a slight vibration at what seems to be varying speeds... If it
were at just certain speeds, I'd suspect a wheel, tire, u-joint (they're
all
new...), but for example, I can go slightly under 60, solid as a rock.
Then when either accelerating, or decelerating TO 60, I get a little
wobble. I suspect the rack mount. The rack is new. All mount
components are new. when I observe the steering shaft/rack joint when
sitting in the garage, and I turn the wheel, there is a very slight
amount of 'play', horizontal movement. Should the rack be rock solid?
I don't want to go the way of the MOSS hard mounts, I should not have
to. I DO want to eliminate this vibration!
I believe I have the front bearings torqued correctly. I've compressed
the felt oil seals, and with the car lifted, there's no play when
grabbing the wheel at 6 and 12 positions...
Any help is greatly appreciated. I am enjoying a new tranny with J-Type
overdrive I bought from Triumphs Only. I cannot believe I drove so long
without one.
