The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline Veers to right- bad steering geometry? Something else?

I agree with the direction that Bill and Jerry are headed regarding tolerances and the need for professional services. I can change used parts all day long. I can install an engine, tranny, or rear end but don't think that I could rebuild them with hand tools and a shop manual. More often than not, I've gotten away with installing used parts. Often, used parts are all that are available. But I admit to being a little un-nerved that a steering problem that I thought was "irritating but slight" was viewed as a major safety problem and undrivable by a professional. I'm questioning whether my inclination to always save money with used, DIY approaches rather than purchasing new parts and professionally done services is always the right way to go. Especially regarding safety.
