The best thing that can be said about them is that you will never find a high mileage Fiero (It is impossible to keep one running long enough to accumulate much mileage).

The steering wheel is off-center by about an 1/8 of a turn. Could this be related to my BJ troubles or should I be looking for another problem.

Could this be related to my BJ troubles or should I be looking for another problem. That depends on wether it was that way before Uhwarrie or not. If it's been that way, it probably was just not centered when it was last alligned. If this developed after the trip, I would look for "tweaked" steering linkage, most likely tie-rods. Good luck <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />Andre "SERENITY NOW!" 1995 Passport - TH700R4 - Twin-sticked Dana300 w/tera 4:1 - Leaf sprung SAS w/Dana 60/14BFF - 38.5x11 Boggers - DOR bumper w/ MM SE9500 Re: Temporary Ball Joint Fix???

They don't run long enough to accumulate mileage, but they do run long enough to catch on fire. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Michael Page 2 of 2 1 2 Moderated by  4x4Wire, houlster, jezeric, Jim_Paget, strawmyers  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
