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! Nick

Tried swapping the tyres around. No significant difference noted.
Will have to get it properly tracked front rear, but that means freeing the various adjusters off at the back - which very crusty looking...... oh deep joy..... Nick

You will almost certainly find the inner bolts for the rear tie rods are seized in to the tie rod bush, which will necessitate removal with extreme prejudice (aka sawzall). The D2 bolt is NLA but the C5 A6 bolt works instead.

Yeah..... travelled this same route with my last one. Thanks for the C5 bolt tip, May turn out to be critical!
Going to ignore it for a bit longer. Trying to convince an MX5 gearbox it wants to live in my Triumph GT6. It doesn’t, but it’s going to.. Supposed to be readying the C4 for another tour of duty too..... All go here. Nick
