I have these Torrington bearings on my TA and SA and now the NA...just take
your old bronze thrust washers down to your bearing house and tell them what
you want to do. You'll need to buy a couple of different thicknesses of the
hardened steel shims to work them in there....a word of caution however, you
can make your front end to loose...some friction is necessary to keep from
feeding back road shock in to the steering box.
