I jsut went to a quick drive and the response of the steering is completely improved, much more eager to steering wheel inputs. I think I did a good job by aligning the car to a point that is drive-able and tomorrow morning to the shop! Thanks Rob!
I am in the process of doing mine and holy crap, getting the wishbones to pop into the subframe has been painful. I am slowly filing down the burrs and edge of the section to help get them in, but it has been a multiple hour affair. A standard metal file is a bit large and hard to maneuver to get a flat spot to work the areas I want to. How have others removed the burrs in this area?
