<VV> Alignment Question

[Frank DuVal]

Do not ever go back to these people. They know NOT what they are talking 
about. Outright lies on the part of "factory does not recommend". I do 
not know of any car manufacturer that would say that, even those using a 
solid rear as the solid rear needs to be aligned to the chassis for the 
car not to dog leg going down the road. This is called thrust angle in 
the alingnment world. Very important.

All Corvairs have alignment ability in the rear. And the late models 
like your Corsa are the easiest to see and understand. Both camber and 
toe are adjustable on the rear of a late.

Go to a real alignment shop, or at least a tire store with a real 
alignment technician.

Get a four wheel alignment.

There are books available from our vendors on how to align the Corvair. 
Phamplets actually. And the shop manual should get any technician 
through the steps. Most of the computer alignment machines have the 
Corvair data in them. Not that my local Firestone in Richmond could 
understand the pictures on the screen, but I digress.
