...The "dead zone" referred to by DistantTea is a separate issue although I suspect it is related to the same cause. It also bothers me intensely.

Respectfully but strongly disagree with the "alive" comments. The LCA swap I did was intended to accomplish bringing such life to the steering and eliminate the dead on-center zone, and it did just that to my great delight. Single best mod I've done. The car can almost read my mind...think about the next lane, and I'm on the way over...the car feels like an extension of me, rather than a separate entity. Love it for daily driving!
