Fixed '73 B with front end "twitch"

Thanks for all the comments on this strange-to-me problem!
I chose the easiest route to start with and replaced the rubber pads at the u-bolts on the left rear axle and changed out the pivot bolt in the springs at the same time. Amazingly, the problem was cured, no funny steering on acceleration or backing off the gas at all! I would replace the u-bolts and nuts while you've got it this far down...
I guess the next big project is replacing that worn gearshift knob.

Thanks again!

the best shift knobs in the known universe are from Grommit on this board! He turns them of exotic woods, to your choice of shapes, with a metal threaded insert. for the price of a crappy Chinese imitation.

search for him and PM him. Gay-run-tea-d! (ok, ghost of Justin Wilson can go now)

Mine is the nicest thing on the inside of my car...when I'm not in it of course. if I am in the car, it's the second nicest.<G>

If a worn gearshift knob is all you've got to worry about, you're in good shape.
