Just for clarification...

What would be the easiest way to tighten up the steering on a car that's gotten progressively loose over the past few years? I had it to a point where it was very twitchy so to speak and it's gotten sloppy over time. Is there anyone on here that makes a poly bushing kit for the steering rack? I'm guessing it's due to the old bushings / grommets so I was going to replace them. Is there anything else to look for?

Also...

I've never bled a clutch before, would bleeding the clutch fluid from the slave cylinder and changing the rubber line to a braided one give me a stiffer clutch feel?

Never had to do anything that involved steering components or hydraulic clutch systems as I've only worked on cars with cable clutches up to now so any help would be appreciated.

RK (Ronnie K) makes those poly bushings, in the vendor's section I believe. My steering was all over the place because the stock bushings were shot. Definitely a good thing to fix, although very difficult to install with the engine in the way blocking the top bolts.

So I've heard =[

It will be done when the car is stored during the winter so I'll have the car up as much as I safely can on the jacks to work at it.

To replace them all you do is undo the two bolts holding the brackets on each end, take the old ones off, cut then slide the new ones on & mount the brackets back up correct?

The feeling was like night and day after replacing them though right?

Randy at BIC Performance did the ones on my car. You can ask him what it involved: http://www.supramania.com/forums/member.php?274-becauseican
