Jim's wandering rear end

[Fred Munro]

Hi Jim;

Are the outer ends of the upper rear suspension links worn? This is a common
failure on the Type 44 and these can develop quite a clearance, causing the
rear wheel camber to change with side force (i.e. wind pressure). A squeak
from the rear over bumps is a common sign that these bushings are worn ( or
that you've had one too many burritos :o).

On that note; I've been wondering about my wandering
rear end in strong cross winds.  Anyone elses type 44
rearend dance around in heavy wind conditions?  Any
causes/cures?
