Syd,
I did pack the steering column bearings with some light grease during assembly. As hot as the master cylinders got before the install of the heat shield, i would not doubt that the grease may have been cooked out though.
As stated earlier, the car drives great as long as you don;t drive for an extended period of time at a slow pace (30 minutes or so). This could be just normal driving around town in 5:00 traffic. It doesn't have to be parade type traffic. I can tell when its beginning to bind, and usually will get on the open road and avoid the problem, but I feel it just shouldn't happen.
Any ideas? Other than this annoyance, the car is great
and i've been having a blast. Don't regret for one minute i got a SV.
