And pumping in the Penright can be a challenge. I had the tube come =
adrift under pressure and blew the thick oil all over the surrounding =
area. May hours and several boxes of Q-Tips later I was still finding =
little globs of the stuff.

I switched to Penright oil to stop it from leaking and it really =
improved the steering response too. You need to pump it as it is very =
thick and will not pour.

Thanks for the good suggestions. After reading Joseph's I did a quick =
check on the shocks and found I could tighten the upper shock mounts =
about one flat (I have Putske's Bilstein shocks mounted) but to be on =
the safe side I will give the entire front end a good nut and bolt =
before ruling anything out.
=20
I am running about 27 psi on the Michelin XAS's and I will also check =
toe as per Dave Porter's suggestion.
=20
In the meantime it has been quite a while since I have checked the fluid =
level in the steering box and I ran out of time to check it today as I =
must move the cold air hose in order to get to it. What is the =
preferred lubricant for a box that has not shown any signs of leakage?

Wander is generally an issue with the toe-in/out. Check the tie toe ends =
for excessive wear..
happy new year from Snippy..

After about 50 miles we switched and--whether or not it was because of =

I decided to address this today and with the car in the garage I find =

=20
=E2=80=8BThe "adjustment" procedure described in the manual for "later" =

air--except when we are rolling.

I have, btw, checked for loose front wheel bearings by trying to wiggle =
the front wheels both from side to side and back and forth and =
everything feels just right. Also I have observed the steering linkage =
from underneath and when I push the wheels from lock to lock I see no =
