Yeah pretty scary, you were lucky on this one!
More damage could occur at higher speed...

What's the cause? How is it prevented?

DMCH sells a front end recall kit: http://store.delorean.com/p-10229-fr...ecall-kit.aspx

Looks like the hardware that holds the anti roll bar to the crumple tube worked itself loose. The bushings and bracket are aftermarket in this case so it's not a factory issue that most DeLorean owners would have to worry about.

It might be worth checking the torque on these bolts if you've installed afermarket bushings or if you're planning on upgrading to these bushings in the future to add a drop of loctite when installing the bolts.

From the photo it looks like one of the bolts worked its way out. I would expect this is very rare if the bolts are sufficiently torqued and not the kind of thing most of us would need to worry about.

Wow! 3 of us posting the same minute? Is that a DMCTalk first?

Yeah that's strange considering all of our replies were an hour after the original post.

that is scary! brb going to go check mine! My cars steering has been getting bad. I need to find a way to tighten up the front end. I will probably have to replace the steering rack or see what I can do
