Hey George ....

Been there done that .... have replaced and repaired and adjusted all of the above ... What I am complaining about is basically the difference in "feel" between the two different types of steering linkage ... The R&P just seems so much quicker and more responsive. Basically I'm just trying to "Gild a Lilly" .. The old girl handles OK .... as well as any other of the era ..better than a lot.... just wanna try to make it "Better". I keep finding that when I have to drive my Saturn I keep getting into turns and cloverleafs too fast after driving the 122 with the big tires and IPD sway bars and bushings so really handling is not really a problem ... except for in the Saturn LOL... but that's for another message board ;-)BUT the Saturn just "Feels" tighter ..until you get into a tight corner with the usual amount of speed I would carry in with the 122..... maybe that is why it keeps making promises it can't keep ......
