Here is the reducer I got http://www.buggiesunlimited.com/product.asp?sku=9020 . I believe it was around $150 when I bought it. I picked it up from Ken Spano, his price was about the same as I could find it online at the time.

As far as steering I still would look at toe and camber on the front tires. That should be done peridically. If the tires are not toed in slightly it will not stay on line.
Thanks for the info again AJ, got a chance to poke around a little on it today and found there is about 10-15 degree 'slop' in the steering wheel. Looks like it is all in the gear to rack connection and no way to snug it up. I was hoping it had an adjustment screw to tighten that up. I also have to replace the protective boot over the rack where it extends on a right turn. Can't find my meters yet to check what voltage lights are running at yet. May have to pick up a cheapie meter so I can do a little diagnosing on the voltages. Trying to get in touch with Ken about a battery price. Had a devil of a time finding his Phone #. Had to go all the way up 441/27 to get it off the billboard. Doesn't seem to advertise much. Probably doesn't need to.
