[Marshall V. Daut]

And don't judge steering stiffness by turning the steering wheel if the car isn't moving or jacked up. No non-power steering car will give you an accurate feel when checked that way. ONLY test for steering stiffness with the front wheels off the ground or while moving. When rebuilt and adjusted properly, the Model A two-tooth steering design is efficient and relatively easy to steer, considering we are not talking about modern technology. You shouldn't need "Armstrong Steering" strength to enjoy driving your Model A.
