What are they doing? -------------------- "I want to make as many people as possible feel like they are part of this adventure.

Turn the wheels on the left faster than the right to turn right - turn the wheels on the right faster than those on the left to turn left? A technique like that could certainly compensate for a stuffed FR steering actuator! Doug
