I HAVE been warned - don't know if it is true...  that if you put a heavy 
spring (stronger than stock) in the engine compartment it can create 
excessive ware on the throttle cross shaft.  What is your experience on that 
one?

    A stonger spring will definitly cause more wear on the cross shaft but 
more so on the cable inner casing. You can always get a bushing kit for the 
cross shaft but the cable will need replacement.
