Hey, no sweat, bigswampthing. I've never lived further north than Oklahoma (and the fiero came from west virginia), but my wife is from Indiana, so we know about salt and rust. It was bad enough when they put just plain salt down. The stuff they use nowadays is worse. I honestly had never heard about any steering rack issues, though, and the yahoo group is pretty widespread.

Thinking about it, though, several of them garage their cars in the winter (causing a rash of different problems the next spring!). That could be a factor!

Yeah, I wound up here by accident, but I must say it's nice that I no longer need a snow shovel:-)

In any case, Ben, another area that usually needs repair is the sheet metal by the battery.
