I did not say there was play in the system. It is like there is a small amount of wind up before it hits the stop. I am not being critical of the conversion. I have it in my car and I like it.

Interesting. I'll have took take a look at that. All these years I've just looked the system, and called it a day.

I do prefer the depowered power rack to the manual. The faster steering makes corrections, and keeping both hands on the wheel, easier.

Question About Front Sway Bar: Just looking at the front sway bar mounting configuration, it appears to be a little flimsy... Is that the case? Do you guys do anything to beef up those two front sway bar mounts? Or do they actually work fine as designed?

WHEEL CHOICE QUESTION: I have the option to run the 16X7 front/16X8 rear setup for wheels. Would this be a desired option (competitive advantage) over the 15X7 (all four) for endurance road racing? (btw: these are all the correct offset for '88 and are the phonedial wheels).

There is a ready made brace or support that runs forward to the front tow eye mount to triangulate the mount. You can get them from Tarrett. You can also make them too.
