[DML] Re: The Shimmy Shake

["DMC Joe" <DMCJOE@xxxx>]

Dave,

The DeLorean suspension is a high performance racing type suspension which
will not tolerate any alignment or balancing inconstancies. The average Pep
Boys/Goodyear dealers are not equipped to provide this high degree of
service. Alignment shops that advertise performance or racing alignment
service are usually equipped to do "on the car spin balancing"

The advantage of this system is that the dynamics of every item in the
suspension system becomes part of the balancing procedure insuring much
better results. So call around and insist on an "on the car spin balance".
