Hi all. In reading Bentley, my "view" was limited to looking for the "always replace" warning for lock nuts. (i.e. steering rack) I now see the universal warning on the next page, P40.2a My apologies if I came off sounding like I was debating or challenging any of the helpful information offered. My black and white thinking can be an asset and a hinderance. ;) FWIW, the new nut(s) is oval shaped. Neil. On Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 9:00 PM, neil n <musomuso@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Dennis.
