Front suspension, steering and brakes

["Andy Holmes" <scalainj@hotmail.com>]

I finally got my front suspension replaced which required 2 front shocks, 2 
front topmounts, a wheel bearing, a steering rack. Ahh much better.

Couple of things
Steering shake - starts at 80 mph and then goes away above 95 mph.
Tugging to the left - When turning right the steering will tug to the left, 
it will pull to the left normally and it is definately harder to turn right 
than left

The car was set up tracking/camber wise on Friday and with the front wheels 
off the ground the steering input is identical so i can only assume it is 
not steering related but suspension related

I also had a rear disc conversion fitted which is excellent. Again a couple 
of things.

My car has no Bias adjuster, neither the rear beam one or the one on the 
brake lines.
What should i do as under very hard braking the tail will begin to swing as 
the rears lock up.
Pedal travel - I have about 1.5 inch of pedal travel - The brakes have been 
bled and then bled and then bled again.

Lastly i got a Schrick baffled aluminuim sump and a windage plate. Any of 
you who are suffering from oil surge on fast right handers with consequent 
smoke and spluttering i recommed this a lot. No spluttering or smoke just 
constant power through the bend.

Lastly i have a couple of spare items for sale.

MK2 Scirocco rear drums, stubs, shoes, handbrake cables removed complete 
from my car. All in good working order with recent wheel cylinders, springs 
and shoes - Offers

Mk2 Scirocco (MK1) brand new steering rack, tie rod end, steering knuckle 
and gaitor - Offers

I am in the UK
