I'm curious too. I just installed a new rack last summer in my D and now it seems the right wheel is going to fly off at anytime! Same problem i had with the old rack. What's the deal? I did notice that the right front side was sitting a little lower than the left though...any suggestions? -sean 10054 --- Rustproof <Rustproof@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I just received a set of steering rack boots from > England (Thanks Martin!) and will probably install > them this evening.
