Roland - I am certainly glad that everything worked out for you. I just wanted to comment on this message to say that automatic transmissions in some of your cars should not be a hindrance to inspecting and correcting the potentially dangerous condition of bent or rusted trailing arm bolts. I suspect that some people with automatics are using this as an excuse, or justification, for not attending to this item. Dropping the transmission down is one way to accomplish this task (replacing the bolts), but there are several other methods that work quite well, and are not quite so involved as dropping the transmission. A couple of those methods are spelled out in the instructions that are included with each set of TOBY- TAB's. Another method was described in great detail in an article in Gullwing Magazine, for those of you who are susbscribers to that fantastic resource that is made available to us by the Wester's. As we start to consider the next season of enjoying our cars, please take care of this important maintenance task so that we don't have to read about you in the paper. NOTE: Rolands car had the wrong bolts installed, probably from one of those evil "PO's". If you're going to fix it ... for goodness' sake, fix it right!

My DeLorean has an automatic transmission. After lowering the transmission, he was able to install the bolts and align the rear wheels. The bolts that were in the trailing arms were a smaller diameter and were bent out of shape.
