[DML] Re: Front wheel caster/camber

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Without getting into what castor and camber is, it doesn't matter. It
cannot be adjusted on a Delorean. It CAN be checked and if it is not
right something is bent, broken, missing. Was your car lowered? If it
was that will affect these things. Get the car to an alignment shop
and have them first inspect the front suspension for anything bent or
a bad ball joint or bushing. It is not uncommon for the lower control
arms to get bent from a tow truck operator who pulls on them or uses
them to hold down a car. If you front end frame (AKA the crumple zone)
was installed wrong that can cause bad tire wear. In the Workshop
Manual there is a diagrham with measurements so you can check the frame.
