You really should have more caster correction than the bushings. As for the tires, see if you can find a shop that can road force balance them. Someone here will know the machine used for that. A friend had issues and with the road force machine...

Got a welder? Get the nut onto the stud and weld it in place. Use a socket to remove it. I wouldn’t use a used stud to replace it if that is what you have on hand.

While we haven’t hit our presale target, sales on my sight have been strong and am now in contract for the intake adapter casting. Initially there will be 2 samples sent to confirm quality and accuracy. If they are correct the first 2 brave...

4day drive out to San Francisco toeing a U-Haul trailer. Hit a nasty pit hole resulting in a crooked steering wheel. Got a local guy to weld the cracks so the wheel’s straight again and with Dave’s help with a kit and a call to a fellow 80 guy...

Engine harness with short to ground. Pull the plugs and compare them to each other. One is likely wet.
