Got it all together a couple weeks ago, went last week end to have it all re-aligned. The mechanic told me I had some play into the pitman and idler arms (specially the idler arm) but that the idler and steering boxes where find… Looks odd to me but I will check on that next time I have an opportunity for it, after all he is the specialist and I am the newbie! :D
I guess I have to say to be continued if I will have to change them later… but for now, budget says "wait a bit", the car is very drivable so I will enjoy it without overdriving it!! And by the way I forgot how great was the feeling of being behind the wheel, top down, enjoying the Californian sun for a few miles!!
