I had MS steering knuckles, and it made my steering all goofy too. I also had to use a MS steering arm, because I broke the ZZ one. It messed with my steering geometry, and the wheels pointed out. Now I use steering knuckles from a a clone, with the MS steering arm. I had to dremel he insides of the clone steering knuckles to get my steering range where it should be, but the steering geometry is perfect, with a tiny bit of toe in, and using the oversized clone steering knuckle with MS wheels and steering arm helped remove some of the slop.

I'm very happy with the way it handles, considering the mess I got myself into, transplanting steering coils, and using parts from different cars, I was going to consider myself lucky if I got the steering working at all, but it all came together great, to my surprise. Now if I can just get it to stop flipping. I'm going to get some pullback wheels before I put a third cell in it, but I'm wondering if the weight from the third cell will help hold it down.
