Hi guy and girls,
I wonder if anyone has any advise on improoving the handeling on my 64 beetle.
It has been dropped on cb performance spindles and the beam is narrowed 2 inches with adjusters .
The car rides great, but the jelly like stability is in need of therapy.

thanks
Steve.

Put a proper beam in it...

How low is it? Tyres? Dampers? etc

here here...

does it have front shocks? if not, repent and put them back on.

(are the bolts holding everything on done up tight? you'd be surprised how often they're not)

has new shocks, but will do some looking at gear box mounts and check what the guys replaced when they did the rear.
