    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    So, I adjusted the caster and camber this weekend. When I took the wheels off and rotated the steering, everything moved freely and easily. That was a plus. When I checked the caster, it was around 4 deg. I figured I was surely onto something. Evidently, I had originally set it to power specs and not manual specs. I set it to 1.5 degrees and was hoping for some improvement. There may be some, but I'm not sure if that's just me hoping or if there is actually improvent. The math says it has to be better.

    Oh well, I have done all I know to do without spending more money. I can live with it. It drives great on the road. I just have make it roll a little to steer it in the driveway. Thanks for all the help.
