Reply to "Steering Wheel @ 1:00 O'Clock"

Deeb, you made me think again about the steering wheel position. After Vegas, she went back on jack stands to inspect my newly installed brake upgrade kit. It turns out the left front caliper had to be shimmed to center it on the rotor. The LF caliper was offset so that the inside pistons were fully retracted, yet still causing drag, and out of all the brake pads, the inside LF were the only ones showing any wear. Maybe you're right, the drag on the LF caused the 1:00 O'clock steering wheel position going down the freeway, but it didn't feel like it was pulling... however there were some cross winds I was fighting at times. And I can't remember that the steering wheel was at 1:00 O'clock prior to that project. Therefore, I need to take it off jack stands and do a little road testing before I just repostion the steering wheel. It hasn't been driven since the Vegas trip, so that's the next thing to do, what with my tear down and inspections and adjustments having been accomplished. Thanks for making me think about it. Maybe it's fixed already with the shimming of the LF caliper.

I was in Vancouver, BC, Canada, 20 years ago. It was the most clean big city I've ever been in. The people were all very friendly and would all talk to me. I was riding an elevator in Labat's or Molson's headquarters and they'd say, 'Nice day, eh?' Nobody really talks in elevators in the USA. Nobody really talks to anybody else unless theyknow each other in the USA, except for small towns. You live in a really beautiful place with nice people, including the Royal Canadian Mounties, I guess, since I never really mad the chance to encounter them.

Thanks for the responses, Deeb, George, Marlin and Coz.
