I'm gonna have to disagree with Keith on this. While some bars may have settled, that should only mean that they need to be reset to the proper spec angle again. The spring constant of steel doesn't change with time, or fatigue. Keith has had some trouble that none of us has been able to explain. It's possible that he has a cracked bar which has not cracked all the way thru yet, but I agree that seems really unlikely. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
