Re: [DML] steering wheel bounce/determinig speedometer problem

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

Your steering wheel bounce is a combination of warped brake rotors and a
defective steering column bushing (part#101994G $24.90). Your speedometer
problem is most likely the result of a defective angle drive. If you
determine that the angle drive is defective I suggest you purchase our PJ
Grady HCR Series Angle Drive
for long term reliability of this high failure rate component.
