The  problem with swing axles is 
that the rear track gets a  little bit narrower under  heavy cornering 
conditions 
which increases  the rear roll center.  Coupled  with over inflated front 
tires  and amateur or reckless driving and a Corvair  will spin out, but only 
 after 
holding the road at a higher G level than  other cars of the  period 
(Corvette 
and exotics excepted). 


 
And, Tim:
 
You could also point out that the rear wheel angles shown in the  
"illustration" in Nader's book showing the "tuck-under" of the rear wheel,  could not be 
achieved unless the factory shock absorber was removed from  the car first. 
The shock, stopping at full length, would prevent the wheel  from moving further 
to the point shown. The illustration was placed to show  something that could 
not happen. That is a lie in my opinion.
