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. -----Original Message----- From: cpgny9 [mailto:cpgny9@xxxx] Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 7:45 PM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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.
