Not Ranked
Time for another update.
Monday and Tuesday nights Aussie Mike the mad machinist and I had a couple of late nights at his place.
Before coming down this way for my litte trip I booked in a job with Mike to make and fit the CR bump steer kit that he has made.
Well let me tell you, if you have a CR with the AU Falcon rear set up, you really need to talk to Mike about buying one of these kits.
To say the difference is astounding, would be a gross understatment.
I knew my car was "twitchy" in the back due to bump steer, but until the problem was fixed, I did not realise just how bad it was.
Now when driving on suburban streets, instead of holding the steering wheel so tight that after 30 minutes or so my fingers and forearms are sore (holding tight to stop the car squiming and being ready to quickly correct any movement) and really watching hard (20 metres past the nose) for bumps in the road and pot holes, manhole covers, tram and train tracks etc
I can now hold the wheel comfortably and watch the road ahead comfortably as I KNOW the car is going to stay straight and true.
So a big thank you goes out to Aussie Mike and his skill and knowledge in improving our toys.
Also thanks to Lily and Laureen for letting me steal him for a couple of nights.
