Re: PS Plate adj

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Back in the days these cars were built, most people thought the less effort 
to steer a car, the better your power steering was. They didn't know or care 
what road feel was- you want road feel? ( at the time) then get manual 
steering.. The muscle cars changed all that with their heavy duty sway bars 
, quicker steering, stiffer suspencion etc, Now , road feel is the norm . 
It's all in what you are used to- drive that finger tip power steering for a 
few hours and it doesn't seem so sensitive.....................MO....sw
