Thanks RE: HALP! 86 Coupe Front end

[jmonetti@us.net (Jonathan Monetti)]

Eric, mike, james, Kwattro, and Ed--thanks for the input on the Coupe's steeering 
woes.  

After driving the car with your suggestions in mind, I think there's a lot of work 
still to be done on the suspension, in order:

1) Strut bearings & the assembly--I'm going to check for looseness or other anomalies, 
and then replace anyway no matter what I find (so I'm conservative).  And while I'm in 
there, I guess a set of Boge Gas wouldn't hurt...right?  (OK guys, this is the part 
where you're supposed to say "Absolutely.  Can't live another day without 'em.").

2) Rear bearings--alredy been adjusted, so definitely should to be replaced.  You're 
right, they're cheap and the job is prety simple, so why not?

3) Look into new tires.  I am not particularly fond of the Yoko's (I don't like Ono 
either--BTW, today is the 26th anniversary of the Beatles' breakup).  There pretty 
lousy in the rain, and noisy to boot, and the sidewall is a little noodly.    

4) New rotors (not enough meat left on there to turn them).  

Thanks y'all, I'll let you know what I find and how I fix!!!
