Triumphers...
I've certainly learned a lot about my TR7 during the engine rebuild, but
front suspension stuff still is somewhat of a mystery to me.
I've had the wheels balanced twice, but there is still a noticeable
bounce/wobble around 50-55 MPH.
Normally I would assume the balancing job wasn't done correctly, since the
movement seems to be speed-related. But maybe on the TR7 I need to check
other stuff, particularly since the steering wheel doesn't seem to bounce so
much as it does wobble slightly?
So, your opinion on the following:
1. If the steering damper isn't "tight" enough, could that cause
bounce/wobble?
2. I seem to remember that you should check for play by push/pulling the
tire at 12 and 6 o'clock, and at 3 and 9 o'clock. What do those postions
check for?
3. Any other obvious place to look for looseness that could cause wobble?
As always, thanks!
