A few years ago I bought a '60 TR3A for my mother (she learned to drive on her dad's '59 and always wanted one of her own) and when we bought it the steering made it pretty much undriveable. It had a huge flat spot in the middle and would often grab suddenly and throw the car in a random direction. If you twiddled the adjustment screw, it would remove the flat spot but make the steering so tight it was almost impossible to steer.
Well we had somebody go through it and completely rebuild the steering, and the random grabbing is gone but it still has a small flat spot in the middle and the car gives you a bit of a workout trying to steer it.
Now my question- is this normal for the TR3's worm and tooth steering system? I'm used to the nice easy and precise rack and pinion on my Spitfire. Should the TR3 feel the same? Is there possibly still something messed up with the steering?
