OK heres the deal.....
My "mary" scares the hell outta me any time we go over 100mph.
she has all new front end a new PS cyclinder, control valve, pump,and suspension.
I tightened up the steering gear and that helped a little. The problem seems to be in the design of the PS control.
there is movement of the steering gear arm before the control valve moves enough to assist the steeing.
PS is nice at low speeds and in parking lots but I have this "need for speed!!!"
I have all the necessary parts to convert it to manual steering and I am going to be putting disc brakes on the front soon so I'd like to do all the front end work at once.
My Question? I need an opinion and/or feed back from people who have driven a V8 mav w/out PS.
Any 2 cents is appreciated
