The Corvair had some other problem with the rear suspension geometry, as
I recall. It would break loose and switch ends easily if I recall. Bugs
didn't do that. Think they fixed the Corvair by the 2nd or 3rd model
year, but it's hazy.

Tire pressures were critical. There was a 10# differential between front
and rear, and the tire pressures were outside the manufacturer's
recommended tolerances. Additionally, the front tires were overloaded if
there were two or more passengers on board.
