Power steering pump straining. Not good to keep the wheel turned fully one way or the other.

Default Have you consulted your owners manual?

Because there is a little blurb in there about this...including the fact that you should NOT do this.

Default Way too easy, just like STFAing. People here like a challenge!

Oh, my hat arrived, BTW.

Default If the check arrives for my old brakes tonight (like I'm hoping)...

all will be revealed shortly. ;-) I just want to have the sale completed before I discuss the replacements and the reasons.

The new ones have been on for a few weeks now and work well on the street. The true test will be at Road America on Monday and Tuesday. I plan to exhaustively discuss my decision, but just be patient for a few more days!
