RE: [DML] steering wheel bounce/determining speedometer problem



Most of us have been here in some form or another!
Disconnect the Speedo cable where it comes through the footwell (driver's
side) and connects to the white box (lambda counter). Now drive around the
block and see if the cable spins.
Tug on the inner cable, and see if it comes loose.

When it's up on the lift check the white dust-cap. Make sure the square
cable that comes through from the angle drive is connecting solidly with the
cap. Turn the wheel all the way to the right and disconnect the speedo cable
from the angle drive. Turn the front wheel and see if the inside of the
angle drive moves.

Subject: [DML] steering wheel bounce/determinig speedometer problem


Since I purchased my D., the steering wheel bounces and clangs at
high speeds and when I am applying the brake and slowing down. I know
that it needs an allignment cause it pulls to the right, but I think
something else may be going on. After reading some past postings, I
have a feeling that the bushing needs to be replaced, but would that
cause the bouncing when braking? I know that the brakes were
replaced not too long before I purchased the car, so I think that
they are OK. Any suggestions or ideas? Also, my speedometer and
odometer are inactive. I'm sure that it is either the angle drive or
speedo cable. I have access to a lift at my friends car dealership,
so I'm going to put it up and take off the front left wheel. The
only thing is, I'm not exactly sure what I should be looking for to
determine my problem. Does anyone know what I should focus on and the
way that I determine if it is operating correctly or not.

Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated from this new
Delorean owner.
