(about the only mod needed was to trim one of the metal defroster ducts under the driver’s side of the dash.) <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>However I did not like the power steering unit on the open road. I never was able to get it to track as well as the stock setup on the highway. I added all the caster I could (even wedged the cross member) but I was never happy with it. It was just too twitchy on straight roads and I do a lot of long distance highway driving in our Tigers. After an 8-hour drive I just found myself working too much. I couldn’t relax. I pulled it out & went back to the stock setup. The EPS unit is now resting quietly on some shelf in the garage. On the other hand, if I were driving daily on twisty mountain roads I’d go back to it in a second.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Buck Trippel<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Tigers <tigers-bounces@autox.team.net> <b>On Behalf Of </b>michael king via Tigers<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, August 16, 2020 6:38 PM<br><b>To:</b> Lance Beauchamp <blance598@gmail.com><br><b>Cc:</b> Tiger Club.
