Safe T Steer

[bubblerboy64]

I will keep the information flowing on this. I will tell the fellows
about lifting the bus to get the grease to her. IS THAT A BB ONLY
SITUATION? Or is that common to heavy stuff? Ok sounds like the safe
T Steer may or may not be the ticket. What's a Drag Link? All
appreciated. I'll have a list of online information for the shop. I
told them I would do so and I think they are fine with it. Some
places like to think they already know it all. This shop seems to be
willing to accept some in put and that makes me feel more comfortable
taking the bus to them. They've apparently had enough experience to
know they don't know it all or, they are humoring me.
