[FC] rear axles

The tires are wearing on the inside, because the toe on the rear axle needs 
to be corrected.  That is what the transmission cross member mounting shims 
are for.  Did you put back the same amount of shims that you took out when 
you last worked on the engine transmission?  My guess is that you didn't. 
The proper alignment proceedures are outlined in the factory service manual. 
Finding the correct shims is going to be the hard part, unless you contact 
California Corvairs, Clarks, or Corvair Ranch.
