I'd like to hear that story, Biff.  You should write it up and post it on your
website.

(BTDT) they could 'droop' enough resulting in riding on the sidewall of the
tire.  I had a brand new Corvair Monza Spider convertible and the axle problem
happened to me a couple of times once I mastered how to keep the front end
forward.  I can't remember how many times I swapped ends before I managed to
retrain my cornering techniques.  There is a long story as to why I never made
my first payment on the car and why the dealer took it back and gave me not
only my money back but a '60 Corvette free.
