Took the car out for a nice ride yesterday after the replacing the clutch. I'm happy to say the Gunst/Luk combination seems to be working very well. Did about 100 miles on Sunday.
During the drive, I gradually noticed that the steering seemed very "notchy" at the wheels straight ahead position. I think it required a higher amount of force to move off the notch. The steering is still spot on, tight and accurate with full deflection in both directions, that's why I continued to drive it. But, I still don't like the feel of it. The front end has Nylatron bushings, lowered springs from Good Parts and new trunnions, upper rubber steering link, ball joints and tie rod ends all about 2 years old and maybe 500 miles.
Any of you guys ever rebuild a rack? There can't be $250 worth of parts and labor in this thing. Or if you think it may be something I'm overlooking, fire away.
