Hi, recently I took my 85' Vanagon on the highway,(just got it about 2 weeks ago) and noticed that the wind was pushing me all over. I know, and figured that this was expected owning one, but I didn't think that it would be to this extent. It wasn't a windy day, but at times (pretty much constant) I had to hold the wheel for dear life. I didn't really think that this was normal. Any suggestions? I did notice however that with alot of weight in it, it didn't really do it too bad at all. (we had gone to get a rear/bed seat, and some other stuff, and the ride home was heavy)
    Also I noticed that when I first start it at any time during the day, that it doesn't idle very nice. In fact heres what it does....I start it, the tach/idle goes down and either stalls (so I have to hold the accelerator down) or catches itself right before it stalls. If it catches it makes this horrible belt squealing sound, then I step on the gas, and it will wind and stop making the noise at about 2 tach. The funny thing is that even when driving, it will do this when I'm in neutral until the engine is good and warm. I figured it was no biggie, but it sure is annoying, and might turn into a biggie, and I would prefer to fix it before it does. Again any suggestions?

Thanx,
Tracy
