Re: [T3] corvair in a vw

<x-flowed>I think most if not all late swingaxle Porsches came standard with a 
compensating leaf spring. Aftermarket camber compensators were also 
available in the early '60s for the Corvair, Triumph Spitfire, and 
other swingaxle cars in addition to VWs. Maybe even for the early 
Tempest. Did Chevy ever make a camber limiter a standard feature on the 
Corvair? If so, it would have solved the biggest problems, though by 
that point it may have been too late to save the car's reputation.
