John H.,
Yes. Bump steer adjusting is something I am happy to finally be able to do.
There will be a lot of learning going on this summer.

You're also going to have bump steer adjustments to make

Jack, if you are going to do this conversion you will also need to acquire
the later model lower control arms (or modify your lower control arms if
possible) because the trunnion assembly for a TR6 uses a thru bolt and not
the shaft type on the earlier TRs. You will also need to retrofit the inner
lower control arm bushings from the later model onto the TR3 mounting
points. Everything will bolt together.

I am hoping to upgrade the front suspension on my (street/AutoX) TR3 this
summer by changing out the upper A-arm, vertical link and trunnion to TR6
parts. I will use "the" Jag ball joint and shim it as required. Due to the
complexity of shortening the upper A-arm or moving the inner pivot point
inward, I am considering welding an extension to the upper A-Arm ball joint
mounting tabs on the inside to mount the ball joint further inward and
produce a similar result to shortening the A-arm. I have not removed my TR3
A-Arms yet, but it appears there is room to move the ball joint inward at
least an inch in this way. I know I can't go as far as those of you who
have shortened the upper arms, but it seems like it could be a decent
compromise. I am concerned though, as this seems too easy. None of you
guys have done it. Instead you have shortening the upper arms which, from
what I have read, is challenging, as is moving the inner pivot point and
retaining substantial structure.
So, the question is. . . . . . . Why is simply moving the ball joint further
inboard not a good solution? What am I missing?
Thanks in advance,
Jack
