I have to recalibrate the Vega steering box. It tried to wander like a 4-year old in a candy store.

The A/C is C.O.L.D. The guy did excellent work.

Henry one thing that made a big difference in the handling of my coupe was to get a four wheel alinement ... i checked and rechecked putting it together and thought it was dead on, but when he put the laser lights on each wheel it was off about a 1/4'' in front and almost the same in the rear.. the sec. i drove it i could tell how much better it handled ..

Wayne,

I had it on a 4-wheel alignment machine, and everything checked out within tolerance. It's much better with the slightly increased caster. I may have a bit of a problem with scrub radius, but I haven't been able to measure that yet.
