Re: [mk2] rear axle beam, anyone?

["Dave Ewing" <rabbit16v@prodigy.net>]

You might also want to check the bushings and the brackets that hang the
rear beam.  IF the beam is pushed over that much I may question your rear
suspension too (shocks).  Sorry to hear about that but, hey, we have the
coolest cars in the world that are the easiest to work on!  6 bolts and it's
on the ground!  (aside from brake lines and cables)  HTH!

  i noticed while changing my rear wheel bearing that the right wheel on
my '85 sits back in the wheel well further than my left wheel (which
appears centered). i know the car got smacked on the passenger side (can
see the body work), but the rear axle's a mystery. no problems with tire
wear or handling. i asked a couple body shops that buy parts from us and
they said it might be they (whomever worked on the car) might have used
the/a bent axle beam instead of replacing it like they should (screw
over the insurance companies!!!). i was just wondering if someone had a
rear axle beam in or around the columbus, oh area that they'd let go for
cheap or, preferably, free. only reason i ask that is because i'm not
sure if that IS the problem. i plan on checking for straightness on
sunday. just putting out feelers. thanx.
