Is anyone using, or tried to use, the manual steering holes on the front knuckles instead of the p/s holes? What are your driving impressions?

Thanks

Tom:

No takers on this subject yet? I'm surprised. As you know I can't help you on this one as I don't have the steeroids conversion.

Heading for Atlantic City for a week on Monday. Will get in touch when I get back. Burger and Brew Time.

If you have power steering, don't move the tie rod ends to the manual (outer) holes in the steering arms - that will allow the power cylinder to over-travel and damage the rod seals. That's why the factory installed the big aluminum rivets in the "manual" holes on power steering cars.

I am running a Steeroids R&P set up. You are refering to a stock gm power steering right?
