Reverse

[Ian Williams]

Could all be to do with the brakes which you have to deal with anyway so don't be too disheartened. Give the suspension and steering bushes an overhaul, rebuild the brakes with good linings (see threads here about the compounds) ensure that the cams, pivots and shoe return springs are all unworn, check the brake cross shaft is free and the bushes not completely slogged out. New cross shaft bushes can be made easily from Zinc sheet. Sounds a lot but in reality not going to take that long, you will need a couple of reamers to fit the new shackle, king pin and brake bushes, Tracy tools are a good source. With all this completed you should find the car pleasant enough to drive.
