The effect isn't great but I want a sharp handling car, to use on track days as well, so therefore am being a bit more demanding. The solution is to change the front castor but finding adjustable front top mounts is proving difficult
Any ideas?

It all started out as a way to I'mprove the handling in my TF. To start with I bought Mike Satur's comfort suspension, fitted by Jeremy and the guys over a Surrey Sports & Classics. The car was lowered by 12mm and we had the four wheel alignment as well. It was ok but developed a weaving which turned out to be a failed o/s rear wheel bearing. Thus was replaced and she then developed a tendency to oversteer then under steer on left handlers, quite interesting!! This was cured by poly bushing the rear end but this highlighted the front end issues, I.e. weaving in a straight line. We had the car aligned on a laser setup which aligned the subframes - out of line!! But we now know that the castor is out meaning that, in effect one wheel is in front of the other!!
