        Re: 66 rear suspension & alignment

        What tires are you currently using? When I purchased my 66 sb, it had bias ply tires installed. The ride was fine around town but the rear end would "twitch" from side to side when driven on the freeway. I was told that this condition was known as "nibbling" and was a common problem with mid year cars using bias ply tires. The suggested fix was simply to switch to good quality radials. I changed to Michelin 205-75R-15 tires which cured the problem.

            Find a good alignment shop (not Sears or K Mart) that has a 4 wheel alignment rack that can give you a computerized read out of all specs including the tracking. If this does not solve your problems,it could be your tires.

                I am using the same tire as you, 205-75-15, different brand though. I have had these tires for 6 years and put about 4000 miles on them without any of the problems. I still need to get the alignment checked to see if the shop did it right last year.
