Take a close look at the outer mesh tube of the steering column under the dash. It has probably broken in several places, as mine did recently. I carefully welded mine back together, but the proper fix is a new column (#106939 @ $185 or so). Another problem which can cause a lesser amount of movement is a failed bushing where the column goes through the firewall. I reproduce those out of tough Delrin plastic for $10.95. As for the person who asked if other gas struts would fit, it is common knowledge that there are interchanges for the louver and hood struts that are very close. The door struts, however, are unique to the DeLorean, but modern replacements can be purchased from any reliable DeLorean parts supplier for about $59.95 each. -- Darryl Tinnerstet Specialty Automotive 4 LaBelle Lane McCleary, WA 98557 PH: 360-495-4640 FAX: 360-495-4680
