    ...when did this start ?

    I am a new 2002 owner

    what was done to the car to

    create the no-self centering ?

    how fat are your tires?

    195/60/13

    how off is the offset of your rims?

    I have 13" Gottis, not sure of offset

    condition of the front upper shock mounts?

    Everything looks good(bearings ruber etc.)

    if you replaced those mounts? did you install

    the washers and spacers correctly?

    (will investigate)

    any oil inside the steering gear box? you CAN oil that

    with SAE 90 Hypoid Gear Lube

    checked oil, its fullish

    what's been done to the steering column?

    no recent repairs

    did you ever drive/own this car when the steering did

    center itself ?

    no

    alignment ? any thing changed with that ?

    will get it aligned shortly

    any bent tie rods ?, bent center steering link?

    too tight idler arm bearing? Center link rubbing

    against the trans housing? got anything rubbing

    or interfering with the steering column coupling

    at the top of the steering gear?

    nothing obvious

    got broken motor mounts ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    ....and how are your brakes ?

  4. I find myself having to shuffle the steering wheel out of turns. Im used to cars returning when you 'let go' of the wheel . I recently bought a manual to find out how to service the front end. It says there is nothing to lube. What would make it want to do that? btw everything feels great. no clunking or wandering or pulling. new tires also... thanks faq.

  5. thanks guys for the knowledge. I will see if I can see any obstructions with the valve breather.

    (update) I took the time to call Ireland Engineering and they did confirm that other people were having the same problem with the oil. What solved it for me was to redirect the valve breather to a catch bottle instead of to the air filter housing. The fitting at the air filter housing (the aftermarket rectangle kind) was too restrictive.

  6. Hello board. I recently acquired a 76 '02 and am in the process of getting her road worthy. In my time spent under the hood I have witnessed the distributor leak oil on to the exhaust and thus make smoke. the distributor has 4 holes underneath the 'top' and somehow oil is getting pushed up the shaft and leaking out? I should add that it is a new distributor from ie.

    is there that much oil pressure in the distributor housing? what gives?

    thanks.
