[Vwdiesel] Phantom Wind Update

[David Cook]

Well, I took the car back to the body shop this
afternoon.  After welding on a '62 Mini and getting
burned, I put the Flabriolet on a lift.

All the bushings look pretty decent to me, and I had
my friend push and pull on the tires and I couldn't
see any movement where the A-arms go into the
bushings.

I did, however find movement elsewhere...

On the front passenger side strut, if you grab the
spring while the car is in the air, you can watch the
nut in the middle move around.  The one on the driver
side doesn't.

I'm guessing that this isn't normal, and is the root
of my car's self-steering problem.

Watch for another message on some possible glow plug
weirdness.
