Fan-drat-tastic. A couple of years ago this exact year and model (in red) came into the shop I worked at. Dude had just bought it and it had a flat battery. Given that the shop I worked in usually worked on ratfucked fleet GM pickups, rusty cars and semi trucks, the whole shop was a bit awed and I was especially happy that I got assigned the ticket. The battery is more or less under the rear left fender, the bit that slopes in to the pillar. I am not good at making pictures with words. Anyway, the old battery ended up being the wrong size and shape for the car and had been raised by a ceramic tile, which I still have somewhere.

This is the only consistently readable forum about cars I've ever found.

jamal posted:The main thing changing is the scrub radius. So the center of the steering axis inclination goes through a different point in relation to the contact patch. Usually it will be somewhere near the center. Moving the contact patch out will give more positive scrub and mostly result in firmer steering and more feedback from bumps in the road because you are giving the tire more leverage over the suspension and steering parts. That extra leverage means the outside front will toe out a little more due to deflection in bushings and such. This is a drat good explanation jamal, well done putting it in easily understandable terms!
