The zero castor may differ from a new SUV, but it is a plus with the
standard steering box and the steering friction issues that castor adds to that
system. I rather enjoyed the ability to steer the TR3 into a constant
radius corner and have it follow with no further force required.
The option is to fit the late TR4/4A/250/TR6 front suspension, which has
3 Degrees of castor: good for racing, but do you do that?

Subject: [TR] TR3 Castor Angle?
When I ask my alignment guy why the steering on my car does not try to
return to center after a turn he explained it was because the castor was
set
at nil and is not adjustable.
Is there an alternative way to make the steering a little more driver
friendly? I have not gone to R&P steering as I am trying to keep this car
as original as possible.
