I had a look at this yesterday, staring with the OS front..... because there is an occasional clatter from this side.

There was some odd movement in the steering arm, which had me foxed for a moment. Then I spotted the jam nut was at entirely the wrong end of the thread......

Sorted that and wound it in 1/4 turn to add a smidge of toe out.

Drives the same but the clatter is gone. NOt sure of this fine piece of professional workmanship is the last lot to do the tracking or the MoT garage changing the TRE. Suspect the latter as it was Mot'd only a handful of miles before I bought it. Unimpressive!
