I have some play in my inner tie rods on my TR4A. Reading the service manual it seems to contradict itself.
Do I add shims or remove them to take away the slack in the inner tie rods (or inner ball joins as the manual calls them).
In one place it says "prepare a shim pack slightly larger then the ball lift" by which I assume you add shims to get rid of play. But later it says "if tightness occurs , increase the shim thickness sufficiently to overcome this." by that I assume you remove shims to get rid of slop.
I just want to know if I should order shims or will I just have to remove shims.
