[DeTomaso] Handling Problem

[Larry - Ohio Time Corp]

Art,

We (Dick does too) always called this "Dog Tail". The ass end is out to one
side or the other, like many dogs. A simple (my mind set) test is to find
some nice flat cement. Smooth like a shop floor works best but a driveway
will work to. 

Wet the cement with a hose then drive your car over the cement in a strait
line. Do not turn the steering wheel. The tires will squeegee out the water
and leave a dry tire pattern.

It will be EZ to see how things line up. See how it looks side to side. This
works best with the same tires on the front and back, but it will still
work.

Art,
Some how your front wheels became misaligned with your rear wheels, or
vice-a-aversa.

The result is that when driving down the road your car is actually going at
slight angle.
Do you also have to correct the steering about every quarter mile?
You need a good wheel-a-lignment.
