Default Steering problem

Does anyone know the solution.... When going into a curve, my 76 feels like the rear end wants to come around or kinda like i turned the wheel too much and i have to straighten up some. Somebody told me this was "oversteer". I'm sure this can't be normal!

Check your rear end yokes for wear. Also your trailing arm bushings.

Put the rear on jack stands and see how much the yokes are coming out of the diff. Had the same issues on mine, you're right it can be "interesting" having what feels like 4 wheel steering.

Low tire pressure or trailing arm bushings are toast
