The steering on a Perana is really stiff. I think it's because of the reverse steering rack making the uni joint work at a much greater angle than standard Capris. Add the extra weight maybe but not much more than a V6 and she is very hard to turn and park. I want to try some bearing strut tops to help out but haven't gone that far yet. It could be welded but I still don't know I would trust it. Certainly don't want to be steering round a corner and have it fall apart in my hands that would be catastrophic. I don't mind fixing it as a spare but I think a new replacement is the way to go. I've put a standard wheel on for the moment and as they are a bit bigger it instantly is easier to steer. I might get my machinist to weld it up as I don't trust my welding in such a critical area.
