Rob,
You're right. Even when it's frustrating and I can't make something work
the way it ought to, I still would rather have grease up to my elbows than
watch T.V. That Miata is a cute little car though. I had time to change
the passenger side steering boot after dinner this evening by unscrewing the
tie rod and leaving the tie rod end attached to the steering arm. I had
placed tape across both tires and marked and measured the distance. I was
able to get the adjustment as close as I can see to exact. Within 1/16th or
so. I figure I'll have to have my front end aligned anyway, but I should be
close enough that it won't hurt my tires any getting from here to there.
Thanks,
Dave 72 B half done
