[DML] Re: Big suspension Q!

From: Chris Coplen <Chris.Coplen@xxxx>



I'm having a SERIOUS problem with the car "wiggling" at highway speeds. It
feels like both the front and back swing right and left as I go down the
road. It's kind of a slow "floating" and "swaying" feeling. At speeds
around 100+ it's downright FRIGHTENING how badly it sways. You have to
REALLY hold on to the wheel to keep the car going straight. Sometimes it
requires counter steer, this is how bad it is.

I still have the original NC-60s with fairly good tread. This is more than
an out-of-round tire problem. This is a big time suspension problem.
Bushings? Shocks? Control arms?


Chris,

When I first started driving my DeLorean again in 1994, it was very
unstable. I had the original NCT's which had flat spots and the original
shocks.

I replaced the shocks and the car became much more stable. I also replaced
the trailing arm bolts, the originals were bent. A couple of years later, I
replaced the tires with new Yokohama's. The car now handles like it is on
rails.
