When I first drove my fastback in the wind I was absolutely shocked at how hard it was to keep staight. I had to concentrate very hard and correct all the time. Then I realised that the front tyres were about 10 psi overinflated, so I reduced the pressure to the vw specification and this helped the problem a lot. Then I got new ball joints and that helped a lot too. A full petrol tank helps too. Now I don't notice it much, but you always have to be a bit more careful than you would in a modern car during high wind. I think the T3 is the best of the aircooled vws in this regard because when you see T2s they are all over the place during wind. >The > steering seems nice and tight, no weird wiggles or > shimmies that I can feel, My steering was tight too. ===== Andrew Davidson Melbourne Australia http://www.geocities.com/vw1600tl1971 ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
