Hi all, now that the 'Old Kombi' is being driven daily and running and stopping well it is time to try and improve handling. Since the rear suspension is a bit different on the 220 wagons I am not sure the standard sedan fixes apply. The front suspension is stock but new (U/L Ball joints-bushings) I am wondering what (if any) upgrades board members have tried on the rear suspension of these for a bit better handling? I am thinking adding a rear anti-sway bar but am open to suggestions.
Also, it's time for front end alignment so I would be interested in what works as far as caster camber and toe-in, especially on the wagons!

Here is a photo with the trim on and stock wheels/new kumhos



TIA & Cheers!
OK
