Drop the Slop... Stearing that is

OK heres a cheap and easy way to get rid of some of that front wheel slop.
1: Find, Steal, buy a roll of White Teflon tape... Home Depot $0.49
2: Take stearing rod out of the front of your car.
3: Cut 2 equal length of Teflon tape... 1-1.25" should do it
4: Wrap the teflon tape around the endlinks that connect the stearing bar (tie rod) to the stearing Knuckle.
5: Reasemble front end
6: Vroom


It may take a few minutes for the tape to break in so it fits snugly in the stearing knuckle hole but doesn't bind things up too bad. It works great... Makes the stearing more accurate and responsive. I did it to my supra days ago and everything is still working fine... Now the front wheels only wobble as bad as the rear wheels... without the +or- 1/16" that theyhad before...
