Vibration in steering wheel...not a tire balance issue.

Patrick, per my post a ways back , which shaft type did you use with your isolation joint?

A vibration reducing ragjoint is a no-brainer on any DeLorean.

Traditional rag joint won't fit (I've already tried). That's why I'm using a vibration reducing U Joint instead.

That's what I meant. I'm using the same vibration reducing u-joint as you.

As I said in earlier posts, fixing a vibration problem by attacking the symptom is not fixing things in my book. A certain level of vibration is considered normal for a Delorean. If you have too much the answer is not to mask it with a vibration isolator, the answer is to find and fix the SOURCE of the vibration. Think of the vibration as a warning that something is wrong, like a bent rim or a bad tire. Would you rather ignore it or fix it?

With the exception of the upper wishbones (which hardly ever wear out) my entire front end is brand new, thank you very much -- I'm not masking anything.

"A certain level of vibration is considered normal for a Delorean" -- not on my car.... (I guess my silky smooth steering is abnormal).

I honestly can't remember. I called Borgeson and talked to Gil and he set me up with exactly what I needed. You can ask him to look up my order (Conlon) and it should be easy to duplicate.

That means your car is abnormal too.

Gil will also tell you what Houston is ordering. The man has no secrets.
