Re: [DML] axle clunk

[Christian Williams <delorean@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is one of those problems that has plagued me as well. Dan at DMC
Garden Grove tells me that it's the bearings inside the carrier that are
sliding and that Houston is working on a shim kit. I haven't talked to
anyone in Houston about it yet, but I probably should. I've been reporting
the problem for years and I keep hearing that a shim kit is being "worked
on".

The day that my clunk is fixed is going to be a great, great day.
