[DeTomaso] steering rack

[Roland Jaeckel]

Jack,

In my understanding you say that:

All the factory did was 100% right?
If you don't follow the factory advice, you go wrong?
If so, are 99% of all Panteras must be unsafe and unreliable?

May be i have to change my way to maintain these cars.

Roland
