220 Hog on ice - bad handling 120-130

I had MXV4s on my VW Bus and I was most happy with them (two sets worth)!

Widened Wheels !'m cheap too! 15x6 4wd Bronco II wheels should be real inexpensive and are a perfect fit. Seach the photo gallery for "sven". thats my 64 wagon. Betcha mine is scruffier than yours!!

I have read that too stiff a spring or sway bar in the rear will accentuate the twitchness.. Take that with a grain of salt.

With the exception of the front end alignment, looks to me like you have done the enchilada i nthe fron and the back.

Interesting enough, they do seem to respond to some judicious tuning.

I was very uncomfortable with the wagginess the first few weeks I owned my wagon ,but with the addition of new parts and suspension tuning I am much more comfortable.

I think the sidewall flex you point out is a possible area for improvement. I am interested in trying out 205/55x16 wheels/tires to address that. Obviously a pretty pricey thing to do (that's why I have not done it yet). I am looking for some late model Crown Victoria wheels to work with.
