[DML] Re: SNAP!

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd start out witht he same number of shims as on the other side. In 
the same place. Then have it aligned at an alignment place. Get the 
shims from a DeLorean place - they are unique. 

Buy a new bushing before you start, you're probably going to need 
that too. 

It's not that hard on a lift, but if stuff is that rusted up it will 
take some effort. Lots harder on an automatic.  Plan on replacing all 
the small hardware too. It's a Pain to get the aluminum shield off if 
it has not been removed for a while.
