Listers. Hoping for your expertise here.<br>
<br>
Took the 250 to a local shop for some small body repair and
new tires. Handling of the car has always been superb with
wider-than-stock wheels and low profile tires, but the two
of the tires were 15 years old, so a rubber update was
needed. The shop also told me that the car also needed a new
steering rack and tie rod ends. They did this, set alignment
and lubed the front end.<br>
<br>
First getting the car back, the car vibrated at 70 on the
highway. Shop says they've fixed that with re-balancing the
tires. (I haven't driven it yet.)<br>
<br>
Next, the car feels skittish, jittery at 50-60 mph, and you
have to keep correcting with steering to keep it straight in
its lane. You'll be driving along just fine and then Whoops!
there is goes twitching left a bit. It doesn't feel stuck to
the road as before this work was done. Here's the question:
the shop tells us that this is normal after replacing the
steering rack, that "the car is more responsive," in their
words, and has "a more immediate feel to it," but they also
reference this as "twitchy-ness."<br>
<br>
What should expectations be upon replacing steering rack and
tie-rod ends?<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
<br>
