I'm not buying that one, but hopefully we'll know soon.

In you pics the boots are compressed on either side at full turn either way. They are accordion style boots. They only compress so far. One side of the boot (the inner) attaches to the rack. The outside of each boot attaches to the tie rod. If you could move the outer attachment point of the boots farther out on the tie rod, then the boot might allow the tie rod to go in more. What I see in the pics is the boots are each compressed at the maximum travel each way. Maybe this sounds better: It looks like the steering travel was not centered when the boots were installed. It looks like the boots installed off center may be limiting the travel of the tie rod. _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
