Folks,
The Memorial Weekend ended with successful completion of this steering and front suspension rebuild.
All the great help along the way from Forum members (Jason, Charles, Craig and JongT) was very much appreciated.
A special thanks to Steve and his Rosso Rebuild Project write-up.
Today I hauled in the Teen so I could check everything and it all looks good after a week in daily use.
It was really satisfying to see that the steering fluid had not dropped an inch in level as it used to do each week.
The Teen departed soon thereafter with the car full of girls not to be seen since......those care free days.
As expected the wheel alignment "expert" failed to re-align the steering linkage boots.
I made them put the car back on the lift and then personally supervised, which wiped the smiles off several faces.
That of course put into question the quality of the wheel alignment but periodically throughout I was watching them get the needle into the green on the meter.
It took over two hours but the car felt really nice on the highway.
The steering wheel is now dead center and the wheels no longer rub the body on right full lock.
The TSB update that I printed out was in fact used as well.
Ta,
Neville.
