Superb OPEL B-Vectra

Early this morning I drove XH200 B-Vectra for the first time in a long period, impressed I was as usual especially on the total balance as a passenger's car. Though some trust angle discrepancy remains probably around plus 30 second angle value, it has superb capability to satisfy myself at all. Shock absorbers are replaced into Monroe Reflex lust year, they plays very well in combination with original suspension coil spring's physical property. Designing the well balanced compliance is one of a very professional job to be required a supernaturally special abilities with keen five senses. I want to send the praise to the OPEL factory professional engineers who had participated in this production program with struggling to rise in the blood. I don't know the car to be wanted to continue all through my life, except B-Vectra.
There is no possibility nor room that the better results might be obtained if any remodeling by an outsider might be applied on the original complete car, except narrowing the factory constructive tolerance errors, the less the better. This is why I insist on wheel alignment correction especially on Zero Thrust condition.

Air-cooled VW 1302 Super Beetle had some operation in replacing knuckle ball joint boots on both side and produced very slight discrepancy in thrust angle, because the sway bar bush clumps were loosened and re-tightened for the working convenience inviting positioning error. Thrust angle adjustment must be performed again by the rear trailing arm length regulations. Even so, the quality of rubber boots material is not well controlled in the imported parts, it might be better to replace them into domestic company made ones prior to setting if the replacement accessory parts might be new avoiding double efforts? Time, labor, cost, motivation and persistence are required if the user of passenger's car want to drive at it's ultimately best condition of designed specifications.
