    What brand steering gear is this?

Drag link is 1.25" diameter, but has no provision for connecting stabilizer but I figured that out. Drag link tie rod end looks to be 1" dia male thread. The track bar has an offset style of...

    Any help on wind noise

    the tapered gasket at the top of the windscreen made the biggest difference. But it doesn't stick in this TX heat, so I just drive it now, no worries. And no Prius
