CORVAIRSoFNEWMEXICO A Chartered Chapter of CORSA The Corvair Society of America

HAVE YOU CLEANED YOUR BATTERY BOX TODAY

One portion of the car that gets overlooked is the tray under the battery The early model is probably worse as moisture collects between the rubber tray and the metal Also there is a drain hole in the body on all the cars that gets plugged With spring arriving take a few minutes and remove the battery and clean the metal Some rust proof primer and a coat of paint will help too What I have al shy

ways done in to cover the top of the battery with thin foam rubber to keep the fumes from attacking the top of the fender On the late models you can use a marine type battery box to hold the battery and cover it too

TIRE PRESSURES

I still see cars come into the shop because the steering is loose The first thing I check is tire pressures and inshyvariably the fronts have 30-35 Ibs After lowering the fronts to 20 and making sure that rears have 32-35lbs the problems are solved in most cases Sometimes it is the type of tire tread that ma~es the car wander the square tire tread like the old c-70 or c-78 seems the worst obviously radials make the most sense The alignment will also cause problems with

wandering and if the rear is out you will chase the back of the car and it will seem that the steering is loose Other steps to correct include raising the rear tire pressure a bit or lowering the front or both using a size smaller tire on the front (not too small) or increasing thesize of the front sway bar The sway bar will help more inthe corners correct overshysteer instead of straight down the road Lastly a little more caster angle will help in straight line driving

CORVAIRSoFNEWMEXICO A Chartered Chapter of CORSA The Corvair Society of America

HAVE YOU CLEANED YOUR BATTERY BOX TODAY

One portion of the car that gets overlooked is the tray under the battery The early model is probably worse as moisture collects between the rubber tray and the metal Also there is a drain hole in the body on all the cars that gets plugged With spring arriving take a few minutes and remove the battery and clean the metal Some rust proof primer and a coat of paint will help too What I have al shy

ways done in to cover the top of the battery with thin foam rubber to keep the fumes from attacking the top of the fender On the late models you can use a marine type battery box to hold the battery and cover it too

TIRE PRESSURES

I still see cars come into the shop because the steering is loose The first thing I check is tire pressures and inshyvariably the fronts have 30-35 Ibs After lowering the fronts to 20 and making sure that rears have 32-35lbs the problems are solved in most cases Sometimes it is the type of tire tread that ma~es the car wander the square tire tread like the old c-70 or c-78 seems the worst obviously radials make the most sense The alignment will also cause problems with

wandering and if the rear is out you will chase the back of the car and it will seem that the steering is loose Other steps to correct include raising the rear tire pressure a bit or lowering the front or both using a size smaller tire on the front (not too small) or increasing thesize of the front sway bar The sway bar will help more inthe corners correct overshysteer instead of straight down the road Lastly a little more caster angle will help in straight line driving

HAVE YOU CLEANED YOUR BATTERY BOX TODAY

One portion of the car that gets overlooked is the tray under the battery The early model is probably worse as moisture collects between the rubber tray and the metal Also there is a drain hole in the body on all the cars that gets plugged With spring arriving take a few minutes and remove the battery and clean the metal Some rust proof primer and a coat of paint will help too What I have al shy

ways done in to cover the top of the battery with thin foam rubber to keep the fumes from attacking the top of the fender On the late models you can use a marine type battery box to hold the battery and cover it too

TIRE PRESSURES

I still see cars come into the shop because the steering is loose The first thing I check is tire pressures and inshyvariably the fronts have 30-35 Ibs After lowering the fronts to 20 and making sure that rears have 32-35lbs the problems are solved in most cases Sometimes it is the type of tire tread that ma~es the car wander the square tire tread like the old c-70 or c-78 seems the worst obviously radials make the most sense The alignment will also cause problems with

wandering and if the rear is out you will chase the back of the car and it will seem that the steering is loose Other steps to correct include raising the rear tire pressure a bit or lowering the front or both using a size smaller tire on the front (not too small) or increasing thesize of the front sway bar The sway bar will help more inthe corners correct overshysteer instead of straight down the road Lastly a little more caster angle will help in straight line driving

HAVE YOU CLEANED YOUR BATTERY BOX TODAY

One portion of the car that gets overlooked is the tray under the battery The early model is probably worse as moisture collects between the rubber tray and the metal Also there is a drain hole in the body on all the cars that gets plugged With spring arriving take a few minutes and remove the battery and clean the metal Some rust proof primer and a coat of paint will help too What I have al shy

ways done in to cover the top of the battery with thin foam rubber to keep the fumes from attacking the top of the fender On the late models you can use a marine type battery box to hold the battery and cover it too

TIRE PRESSURES

I still see cars come into the shop because the steering is loose The first thing I check is tire pressures and inshyvariably the fronts have 30-35 Ibs After lowering the fronts to 20 and making sure that rears have 32-35lbs the problems are solved in most cases Sometimes it is the type of tire tread that ma~es the car wander the square tire tread like the old c-70 or c-78 seems the worst obviously radials make the most sense The alignment will also cause problems with

wandering and if the rear is out you will chase the back of the car and it will seem that the steering is loose Other steps to correct include raising the rear tire pressure a bit or lowering the front or both using a size smaller tire on the front (not too small) or increasing thesize of the front sway bar The sway bar will help more inthe corners correct overshysteer instead of straight down the road Lastly a little more caster angle will help in straight line driving
