[QUOTE="StefansBus, post: 611938, member: 22908"] Thanks. Yeah, will check/add caster. Will also add fresh grease to NOS rack. It's pretty dried up in there which won't help. Might also have to loosen the rack and pinion a bit. It does have an adjustment screw. It is a little bit tight at the moment. Will see. Also the new tie rods are a bit stiff as are the not quite so new anymore ball joints. None of this helps with self centering of course. Not much I can do about the Ackerman angle, I guess. We discussed keeping the relay lever but decided against it because its bushing is always a source of some play. I don't think the relay lever results in great Ackerman angles as the tie rods are so long that any change in angle only results in a small change in distance. But I'm sure you are right in that it does have an effect. I just don't think it's my only issue. [/QUOTE]
