Rear end noise - solution

[A bear in his natural habitat <burden@rhett.enet.dec.com>]

This morning I fixed the mysterious thunking in the rear of our '71 Sqb.  It 
turns out *both* rear axle nuts were loose...:-(  Cost to fix - 2 cotter pins.  
I should have checked the simple things before assuming it was the cv joint, 
although it was probably smart to replace it anyway, given that all 6 bolts had 
backed out.

I'll keep the cv joint I took out as a spare.

Thanks for all the help and advice.  Of course, now that it's fixed, I get to 
drive the diesel Rabbit and my wife gets the Squareback again...
