Did I not see you doing a quick repair to your rear end on the sea front???

Would that explain teh mis-alignment shortly beforehand>??

HAving spent all weekend driving Russells Mk2 estate, I was amazed how light the steering was, especially compared to my Mk1PI and Mikeyb's pre-assisted Mk2PI.

My car has NOS top bearings (can't afford Roller ones!) and new bottom ball joints. Standard Rack and Bus-sized wheel.

Mke had evrything standard and a Stag sized wheel. That really was heavy!

Russell has fat tyres as well.

I think a lot of it is down to what tyres you have. Mky Mk3 spitfire is really light on it's 185/60 tyres, far lighter than when it had 145/80's fitted.

James, what pressures in what tyres are you running??

Cheers
