I think the DMC Midwest (Joe/Peters)  front strut bar helps a lot with
bump steer though...

You do know that DeLoreans transmit every pavement imperfection
through the steering wheel. We don't have a "rag joint" (flexible
steering coupling). Instead, DMC ran the fixed steering column through
a rubber grommet in the firewall. Does keep the poor thing from
snapping or bending as the body flexes, but does absolutely nothing to
isolate pavement conditions.
