Brent, I'm sure you are correct. You have works on a lot more Model As then I have.

I guess what I meant was, People that install a shortened pit man arm, notice a miss aligned steering wheel right away and ask about the misaligned steering wheel and want to it corrected.

People with bent parts usually don't not notice right away because it either happened over time or it has been bent a long time and they got used to it.

Little story from my past. I used to be a motorcycle mechanic and when a customer brought a bike in for a tune up (or other work) and I test rode it after, I would notice instantly he need steering head bearing. The bike would "lock" from bearing wear in the straight ahead position. They didn't even notice until I pointed it out to them!
