[DML] DeLorean steering

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Someone please explain DeLorean steering geometry to me. I am 
familiar with some terms: Toe, caster and camber.

Due to the wear on the inner edges of my tires, I suspect they are 
pointed like this:   //  \\  (If you're looking at the car head-on)

Instead of: ||   ||  (Ditto)

Which of the above 3 is responsible for this, and is it adjustable in 
the DeLorean? On the front end, are any of the 3 NOT adjustable?

My new tie-rod ends will be here soon and I'm going to take it to the 
alignment joint up the road Friday morning. Before I do, I want to 
know if I have something else that's really wrong. I hope I don't. 
How bad could it be? It took several months of driving for the 
abnormal wear pattern to even show up.

I have read the tech section of DMC news and a few other places and 
find the explanations lacking. 

Thanks,

Rich A.
