Re: [DML] Steering Rack Enigma?



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?
