Chris,

As mentioned this coversion is indeed a pain. Add an alignment of
course, and these systems tend to leak. I actually converted mine to
manual for ease of maintenance and increased road feel.

If you change the steering box to 16:1, that might be enough by itself
to help rest your flailing arms. Is that the main problem?
