[DML] Re: rear shock damage

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

We would like to help you out but we need more details. The DeLorean do
not use struts in the suspension system, I assume you are talking shock
absorbers. When describing specific components we need the section,
subsection, group and figure number from the manual you are referencing.

Ex: The headlight switch (Parts Manual 3/6/2 fig. 17)
