Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Rack and pinion steering

I guess loose is not the word I wanted to use. What word would you use to describe the difference between what the AMC's have and the front wheel drive cars have. It is a big difference. There is a shop that does restores here. In some of the interview he has given to the press, no need to advertise, he has said bring me your 56 Chevy and when I am done you will think you are driving a 2006 Caddy. I just think you are loosing something along the way if that is what you are doing.

one factory one converted to power disc's. As far as loose steering mine
are fine. loose steering is only when you have bad front end parts or a
bad alignment.

I think I have to agree with Doc on this one. That steering is something I don't think I would want to mess with. I guess if you were making a dragster out it but to start messing with it on a daily driver I don't believe I would.  I just don't see where the big advantage unless it would be weight. When I get behind the wheel of my Gremlin I expected it to drive different than my rice burners. The loose steering, the manual breaks, the ride is all part of the experience. I see these guy who take the old cars and put all the modern conveniences on them and I think they loose a lot. How do you have 50's nostalgia when you are surrounded by 2000's luxury. Might as will buy you one of those 50 Ford kits and stick it on your 90 T-Bird.
