TR] TR250 handling question<br /><br />Hello, Listers. Hoping for your expe=
rtise here.<br /><br />Took the 250 to a local shop for some small body rep=
air and new tires. <br />Handling of the car has always been superb with wi=
der-than-stock wheels <br />and low profile tires, but the two of the tires=
were 15 years old, so a <br />rubber update was needed. The shop also told=
me that the car also needed <br />a new steering rack and tie rod ends. Th=
ey did this, set alignment and <br />lubed the front end.<br /><br />First =
getting the car back, the car vibrated at 70 on the highway. Shop <br />say=
s they've fixed that with re-balancing the tires. (I haven't driven <br />i=
t yet.)<br /><br />Next, the car feels skittish, jittery at 50-60 mph, and =
you have to keep <br />correcting with steering to keep it straight in its =
lane. You'll be <br />driving along just fine and then Whoops! there is goe=
s twitching left a <br />bit. It doesn't feel stuck to the road as before t=
his work was done. <br />Here's the question: the shop tells us that this i=
s normal after <br />replacing the steering rack, that "the car is mor=
e responsive," in their <br />words, and has "a more immediate fe=
el to it," but they also reference <br />this as "twitchy-ness.&q=
uot;<br /><br />What should expectations be upon replacing steering rack an=
d tie-rod ends?<br /><br />Many thanks,<br /><br />Pat Fischer<br /><br /><=
