NTB (was Re: 5KCSTQ: 'Unshakable' Steering Wheel Shimmy)

[Jim Griffin <JGriff@pobox.com>]

All this talk about NTB is sending chills down my spine... I think it's
causing flashbacks about the whole
snafu (cross-threaded lug nut = new hub = bent subframe!!) with my QSW. A
total of 6 weeks of h*ll!!

Come to think of it, in about a month, it'll be a whole year since that
happened. When I think about it... it still gets me going... <ARGGHH!!>!!
