Karl, your right of course.  As I just explained to Alaistar I freak out
at the mention of Agilis tires.  Yes, I had the wrong load range, no fault of
mine.  And yes the steering U-joint, not the doughnut, was worn and loose.
Since I replaced the U-joint and put on the Michelin LTX's my Westy handles
like a dream.

Cheers
