    I see a lot of nice rustfree cars down your way on Craigslist . Worth a mint where I live.

    Well Casper's getting new steers in a few hours.

    The passenger side has this divet, which I'm certain is down to the belts. Wrench said it's ok, and it has been like this for 10 or 15 thousand miles.

    This isn't the straw.

    And I can't find the picture do I'll try and get some new ones when they change them.

    The straw is this morning I found a slice, possible separation perhaps, in the driver side steer, that goes from the inside edge over to the first groove, and also is quite deep.

    So F it.

    Why tempt fate.

    Now I have steer tires.

    Night and day difference. These are the cats whiskers.

    Don't even waste money on that other trash. All the vibration is gone from my steering at all speeds up to 85 mph.

    I could see 110. But I won't go 115. I went with what the shop recommended. I'll be home in about 5 days, and getting a PM, see what wrench says.
