The Tompkins steering kit consists of a machined and polished aluminum casting which houses a roller thrust bearing and spacer. This replaces the steel thrust plate on top of the steering gear, thereby eliminating all drag at this critical point, and at the same time provides an easy and extremely accurate adjustment of the sector shaft. Also included is a needle bearing which replaces the felt bush at the top of the column. We must emphasis that unless the entire steering and front end are in perfect condition the kit will effect only a slight improvement. With a properly set up front end, and the addition of the Tompkins steering kit, your TA, TB or TC will be a very pleasant car to drive.
