Too much "play" in steering wheel????
I got an alignment today after I lowered and installed c/c plates on my car last week. Now, even though the car goes perfectly straight after I let go of the wheel, there is a small amount of "slack" in the steering wheel while the car is moving.... like you have to move the wheel a little bit before it becomes firms and actually starts steering. It didn't do this when I had the car aligned before the drop. Any ideas????
Oh, and I went in with both c/c plates in the middle for vertical and horizontal movement... now BOTH plates/bearings are moved horizontally all the way to the left (driver's side). You would think that movement in on plate would result in the opposite movement of the other plate???????????
Help, I'm confused... lol

They were easy... much easier than I thought. The hardest part is getting the retaining nut off the strut if you don't have air tools. I held a big slotted screw driver in the slot on top of the stut while my dad used a wrench to remove the nut. It only has to be torqued to like 35lbs. so tightening it using the same technique was not a problem. And I had to cut slits in the tops of the dustboots to get them to go over the bumpstops, but other than that, it went very smooth.

Yeah, it's like $30 because I've only seen them with the entire cable assembly. I didn't get a good look at it and see if I can get the clip separate. I might be able to get what I need at a junkyard or something. I'm too pissed off and have some studying to do to be fooling around with it.
