Hi Marcus. I was looking at your webpage on the TVR steering components (see
below)  and wondered about the steering arms you were referring to. Are the
shallow droop TR4 arms early or late? Locally, I have found a source of TR3
steering arms. Would they be the same as the shallow droop ones?

1. The stock 2500m suffers from terrible bump steer. Bump steer is a change
in the direction that the wheel is pointing (with NO input from the steering
wheel) during suspension travel. The main cause of the bump steer is the
stock TR6 steering arms. They cause a steep angle between the steering rack
and the tie rod end,. To cure, use the 'shallow droop' TR4 steering arms
(not all TR4 arms are alike). It is likely that TVR designed the suspension
geometry with the TR4 part in mind, then some clever soul changed to TR6
parts without consulting anybody...
