OK, third time is a charm right!? I hate when the "back" key doesn't restore the 7 paragraphs that you just typed.... here's the Reader's Digest version!

Steve!
Glad to see you are driving the car!!!

Front vibration prob... under braking???

Raise one front wheel off the ground slightly. Have a buddy move wheel back and forth in plane of steering movement. Look for movement where it shouldn't be!

Things to check:
Rack ends- Heim joints (14mm) available from ball bearing dealers- Motion Industries, special order... they are metric! Don't trust the factory... no refunds if you get the wrong part... don't ask how I know this!

Tie rod ends- Fiat parts, probably Euro car. Wilkenson had some that an owner got for around $100 each... but I could be wrong.

Ball Joints are Fiat 124 pieces.

Wheel bearings- 67-68 Mustang/Ford pieces just like the Pantera. Available anywhere!
Grease seal is probably metric, so if you must remove it, be very careful. Check for numbers on it, may be able to get it also from Motion Industries.

L8R!!! Congrats!
Steve
