> The steering wandered just a bit. Did you have to swerve for any pink elephants, and how much were you drinking? > I take this to be because I still haven't replaced the tie rod ends. To second what Bill said, having the wheels misaligned can cause the steering to wander. And if you already had an alignment, make sure they used the proper spec and not a guess. And before you have an alignment, check to make sure that nothing is loose -- tie-rod ends, ball joints or whatever. Pick up the front of the car such that the front wheels are hanging. With the steering wheel locked, try moving the wheels in every direction. The rule I go by for DeLoreans is that if I feel any play when I shake the wheel (tire) then there is a problem. I've checked this on about 6 DeLoreans. One had a bad ball joint that affected handling as well as could be barely felt by shaking the wheel. Another had a bad wheel bearing, but this wasn't bad enough to be felt by shaking the wheel. (We could only hear it while turning left.) So what I'm saying is that if you can feel it by shaking the tire, then it is really bad. And if you feel no looseness by hand that doesn't necessarily mean that everything is good either. Also check for play from the rack back to the steering wheel. And make sure that the steering rack has oil in it and no torn boots. > It was great compared to the way it was though. Man, it sounded like the wheels were ready to fall off. > As far as Pigeon Forge goes...I don't know if I should push it. The proper question to ask is not SHOULD you push it but will you have to push it very far until a tow truck comes? ;-) Walt Yahoo!
