Stability in winds

jenz58 · 2002-09-16T03:31:57+00:00

I'm doing some runs up to Healseville and am finding Bel does not like the winds that hit her on most trips but yesterday we almost lost it completely with the gails that were blowing. She's a '58 beetle, any way of making her handle winds better?

Some workshop manuals give instruction on how to do a wheel alignment yourself. Let me know if you don't have one that does.

I had a similar problem. I solved it when

my mechanic lowered my Beetle by about 1 or 2 inches in the front.

Placed anti-sway bars front and back.

and most importantly I replaced the old 165/70 tyres with 185/60 tyres and 155rims.

It held the ground like a train after that.
