Larry, sounds like your temp compensator valves have a burnt cone, are maladjusted, or are stuck open. Also check to see if the diaphragm is ripped in the bypass valves. Yes they're pressed in. The s

Margret, You'll find a great many shops don't have the shims necessary to adjust caster and camber on Herald-based cars such as yours. What they do is either only do toe, bodge some shim that'll get

I don't understand what you're getting at. The rear end of the spit is swing axle. Rear camber is directly proportional to the ride height of the car. Put on a stiffer spring, camber is affected posi

I did my car in black leather 5 years ago. I did a beautiful job if I do say so myself. Trouble is, I like to drive my car regularly, and as a result, my car often sees less that perfect weather. Re

Doug, If you load up the rear of a spit, camber doesn't go positive, it goes negative. I'm assuming we're using the traditional definition of camber: negative means the tops of the tyres are farther

I put a rear sway bar on my spit. It certainly helps the tucking problem. However, at all but the lowest speeds, the rear sway inhibition is too much and wheel lift becomes a problem. So unless I'm
