It is with very mixed emotions that I report the on the road behavior after all the effort put into the steering setup.
In one way I had rationalized that at 200k miles, the old girl would never drive to suit me, and it was enough ammo to convince the CFO that we absolutely had to have one of those steerable tag gizmo rigs.
But, sigh, this thing now drives like it's on rails. The stability and steadiness are beyond even my high expectations. My rationalization for trading coaches has somewhat evaporated after the CFO observed 400 miles of one handed driving, in gusty conditions no less.
So I suppose the two weeks, and $276 of parts (including two seal kits, cause I clipped an O ring) saved me about 200k.
