Re: [DML] Steering Column Play

[Mark Noeltner <mark@xxxx>]

There is normally a nylon bushing around the steering column at the
firewall. They do occasionally go bad and sometimes break and come out in
pieces resulting in a missing bushing. The best replacement is the one that
Darryl Tinnerstet sells: http://www.delorean-parts.com/ about the 3rd item
down on the page at $16.

But, the cost is minor. It's taking things apart to install it that is the
fun part!!
