OF IDEA

Each quarter, we will be including the feature column "Excalibur Corner -- Exchange of Ideas". This column will be devoted to ideas -- any ideas of merit -- concerning the  Excalibur, care and maintenance, mechanical or operational ideas. We welcome YOUR  ideas, and will attempt to include as many of them as possible.

       We will send a handsome Excalibur paper weight to each person whose idea is accepted for publication.

       Here's a service tip concerning a problem of all autos manufactured with a close-ratio steering gear, which certainly includes the beautiful Excalibur. You might have noticed a steering wheel shimmy, especially at 55-65 M. P. H.

      This condition can easily be solved by having all your tires turned true at any good tire service center. The service charge for this should run in the neighborhood of $35, and it is worth many times that amount if you 're en- countering this problem. Remember, after having this service done, to always mark the wheel's location on the spline, as well as the tire's location on the rim. This should be done when removing the tire for any reason -- other than complete replacement.

      This service will also greatly improve the ride of the car.
