Vibration Dampener
I don't want to hijack your thread but this is a pretty common occurance in many of the different makes.

Here is a real nice item that can be incorporated into most steering shafts discreetly. I am going to be using one of these shortly, has anyone else? Thoughts.........???
I have often wondered if the fact that many of these cars utilize
Mustang II spindles with wheels that have a lot of negative offset pushing the wheel much farther away from an imaginary line through the upper & lower ball joints as it intersects the ground. The original width of Mustang II wheels was about 5" with out any negative offset. This has something to do with scrub radius, but I am not sure if it actually impacts the balance issue or is restricted strictly to turn in, cornering and eventual tire wear????? Opinions???? Thoughts???????
