Dear Michael,
Again thanks for your valued input concerning the steering of our beloved Ace’s and Aceca’s. The first snow has fallen in southern Sweden so I fear any more driving, and testing will have to wait until spring is here.
I think that you in a very clear and systematic way put light on the importance of being thorough and meticulous when trying to find out a mechanical problem. I will certainly start over from “scratch” when the temperature allows.
To answer some of your questions I have carried out a number of the procedures that you suggest and the results have all seemed satisfactory. But since I’m taking the track rods off the car soon for repainting, I will have the opportunity to go about this in a precise way when reassembling again.
I haven’t tried or tested the column/cam for axial birthday lay since the box was restored by a professional, but I will do this as soon as have time and I will post my findings.
On a slightly different note I would argue that Napoleon did loose big time at the battle of Leipzig in 1813. Important as a Swede since this was the last time Sweden was at war on the continent, but Napoleon did indeed have a battle plan!
Thanks again from at the moment a white Copenhagen.
Jonas
