RE: [DML] Re: Steering shake

["Jeff Friday" <DeLorean_Type304@xxxxxxx>]

I also wanted to add that front end alignment is crucial.  A few adjustments 
even by one whole thread on the tie rod will make a huge difference.  The 
job is fairly easy to do as long as the steering wheel is centered it is 
very easy to do by eye if you've had experience before.  I musta done 
atleast 5 of these alignments.
