Excellent point John!!
It's amazing what can happen if all isn't right and you
have a problem. Just ask Richard Thomason.
If all is perfect, you can remove tie rods/steering arms
from the spindle, put the car in gear and drive straight ahead
without the wheels moving right or left -- if it's "perfect".
Close counts. Use an open differential if your not using heavy
duty power steering.
