Thanks again for the comments and suggestion.
Things I'm going to do as a result;
- 2x new tires- I like Michelins, so a pair of 195x70x15 for the rear,
filled to, say 35lbs. Or should I go for 195x75x15?
- Have the front end aligned at a really good shop I know, been in business
long enough (50+ yrs) to know older cars. Take my shop manual with me.
- Take everything extra (junk, spare tire, etc.)out of the car after doing
the above so as to establish a "base level" of handling, Then start
adding stuff back in as needed.
- As a last resort, I guess I'll reinstall the bigger front sway bar.
- If all else fails, then I'll look into having a set of wheels widened.
Actually, I believe that this is a misnomer. The procedure involves
welding new, wider rims onto the original centers. I was quoted around
$75.00/per wheel. Does this sound about right?
- Does anyone have any experience w/ rear air shocks? I had a set in an older
('77) 240 wagon years ago, and they worked well enough.
- Suggestions, comments, criticisms?
