Yes, exactly. They should be greased, and no play fore-aft. There is a good description at the GoMog website, check it out. As for PAS, I understand. Expensive retrofit and quite invasive, but what a difference on a Roadster with a heavy engine and fat tyres! In the case of bump steer, I would definately start with a steering damper. Medium fiddly with full width bumpers, quite a bit more strenous if you have overriders. Steering bearings will make the handling easier (poor man's PAS - which I considered myself, before taking the plunge - no pockets in the shrouds), but not do much with bump steer. It does require a bit of stripping of the front suspension, though. But BRBs are so cheap and easy to fit that it was impossible to resist. Not a major breakthrough in handling, but quite noticeable. Very good cost/benefit ratio.
