<VV> Corvair handling

[NicolCS@aol.com]

One addition to the already excellent posts: I've had three customers now 
with "squirrly" EM cars where the problem was traced to rear toe-out.  In all 
three cases, there were no alignment shims between the transmission and the 
transmisison support.  Without shims, the rear suspension will have toe-out and the 
car will be really squirrly, especially under acceleration. (as the original 
poster noted).  The first time I sent a guy to the alignment shop with a 
handful of shims, the package came back with all the shims; the guy hadn't used any 
and told the owner to look for shims for the control arm bolts!  I the 
customer back a second time with photocopies of the service manual and some 
additional note like: "INSERT SHIMS HERE".  Proper rear alignment plus a pittman arm 
bushing fixed everything on all three cars.
