RE: [T3] Steering doughnut failures?

["Renville, Jason" <JRenville@wafertech.com>]

I had one that kept breaking about every six months.  The car had been in a
wreck and the steering box wasn't exactly installed correctly. it took me a
while to figure this out.  I was only 16 at the time and could barely fix a
sandwich if I had to myself.

Thank You,
