Smile LAST ENTRY FOR ME for now

FRONT END, DONE.

Caster 8.2 degrees, positive, which is the high end of the Mercedes spec. All else OK

Wheels now lean together in a tight turn.

Rides better.

Takes bumps better.

No wandering at 130 Km/h, although steering box more noticeable at the speed. My norm on the highway is 55-60 MPH. This is where I hope to find 40 MPG.

Steering box 100% tighter, although more loose than I would prefer. This I don't understand, but it is much better at non-highway speeds.

I know my suspension is in here somewhere.

Thanks all! and, look for me in the brake department.
