Kinda like old corvair owners;;   old corvairs need all new front end 
bushings every 50 years or so ....

I did a rebush job on my liberated-from-the-junkyard 69, and WOW!  ... got 
pretty close to predictable !  I would have a corvair doctor do it next 
time, tho, I still have bloody stumps for fingers and kanuckles.  Dont 
forget stabilizer bar bushings ( if you have such... if you do not have won, 
no wander your car wonders ...   (g)   )...

Oh, and really good tires can be an amazing improvement.   ....   and if you 
have good tight bushings, you can more nearly match front tire pressures to 
the rear .... zipping down I80 at 80 mph on a hunnert degree day is not good 
for low pressured, half flat tires... they tend to gain heat and blow up 
thataway, from the distortion every rotation x 1.

just some trivia, ken campbell, rotating in Ioowuh
