inquiry. James.<


James - I'm curious as well. I believe the brand involved is a very relevant issue. Some brands have a reputation for various issues related pin tightness such as lack of torque, overly tight racheting pins, inconsistent torque, sponginess, etc., while other brands are known for consistently having good torque and smooth turning pins. Is the problem you're noticing an anomaly, or is it par for the course? As David said, "Inquiring minds want to know."

If you had posted on a car forum about an automobile having a problem with a throttle that was sticking to the floor, causing unchecked acceleration, wouldn't it be relevant to know whether it was a Toyota, or a Ford?   Chuck Behm
