Re: [DML] Steering Problem

[jtrealty@xxxx]

Inspect the front lower control arms. It is common if recovery hooks 
were attached to move or lift the car to the lower contol arms that 
they bend. If they are bent it would make the steering hard and they 
would not move up and down depending on how badly they are bent. The 
bad news is they are hard to obtain. Maybe they can be straighted out.
This is the main reason the car needs to be flatbeded but if the car 
is pulled onto the flatbed by the lower control arms the damage is 
done. On some forgein cars there are big stickers underneath 
indicating where to attach or not attach the recovery hooks. Maybe 
this would be a good idea for the Delorean vendors to produce?
