You are correct. THAT (Steering box not moving) is where the problem is. The box DOESN'T move, but everything under it does, that is why you have steering interference issues. I guess I worded that wrong... Sorry about that.

Did you decide that after talking with me at THW SCOTI? Much better idea don't you think? You can't get rid of all the issues, but you can get rid of A LOT!
