    Proper steering feed back from the road is vital in the stability of all steering systems and the slightest tight spot with diminish that feedback enough to make a vehicle unstabile---

    However, if your stiffness is just a condition of bad caster/camber angles, king pin inclination to tire patch contact patch, scrub angles-----------
    your post concerns me.

    Billy,
    Maybe rather talk in generalities you can post exactly what you found to be wrong, in detail, and exactly what you did to correct the problems encountered. Pictures would probably help a bunch, but after the fact may not be possible. Just trying to get past the OMG point here.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
