John: some after-market ball joints have the hole for the split pin too far
out, with the result that one may not tighten the ball joint enough - but
that would lead to positive camber, not negative. Don't know what to
suggest other than to check the two sides and make sure they are the same.

Subject: [TR] TR2 front wheels
Hi all, still enjoying motoring on the now driving 15 year project, shake
down is going well with little tweaks here and there. The biggest issue is
heavy
(very) slow speed steering. I had the tracking set-up on old Dunlop gauges,
but still feels a little odd and also a front end "slow wobble" at low
speeds.
I put a spirit level against the wheels/tyres, one of them leans out at the
top by just under 1/2 inch, while the other is parallel top to bottom. Any
ideas??? I was wondering because I built up the suspension, with poly bushes
etc, while there was no body or engine on the chassis, could tis be an
issue, all ideas welcome, especially what I should look for.
Regards
John
