[DML] DeLorean steering- repaired, results.

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to everyone for explaining steering geometry to me.

All of the situations that could change caster, camber and toe have 
happened to me. Frame damage, you name it. The only way I was ever 
going to find out what was -really- going on was to get it to the 
shop for alignment.

The only way I was going to do that, was to replace as much of the 
front end as I could. Mike Cohee and I put new tie-rod ends and sway 
bar bushings in last night...the final pieces I thought necessary to 
make an attempt at alignment. I owe Mike a public display of 
gratitude for the constant use of his garage and labor (and food) 
during the winter. Thanks Mike.

Well as they say, "It all comes out in the wash". The front end was 
able to be perfectly aligned. Despite everything the frame had been 
through I had zero camber defects. The new bushings eliminated the 
brake pedal pulse that I had. New brake calipers too.

Thanks again everyone.
