TR3 Models
Two adjustments may be made to the TR3 steering gear box with steering system in place. First adjustment is to preload steering shaft, and is accomplished by adding to, or taking from, shim pack located between end cover and steering box. When adjusting this shim pack, a slight amount of preload is permissible, however, in no circumstances must there be any end float. Next, rocker shaft of steering gear box may be adjusted by means of set screw and lock nut, located on top cover plate of gear box. Rocker shaft is adjusted correctly when steering wheel may be turned from lock to lock with a slight resistance at center of travel, which should correspond to straight ahead position of steering.
NOTE:
Adjustment of rocker shaft should only be made after ensuring that no end float exists in steering column.
