Front Suspension Tips -- Again


Listees:

Well, it is that time of the year again when I swear that I am going to fix
the looseness in the front suspension of my '65 Variant.  Last year, Jim
and others sent some good material about how to tackle the front suspension
and replace the torsion arm axial rings and needle roller bearings.  Those
gems, even though I had the best intentions, went out with my old email
program.  I also checked the archives with no luck.

What I am looking for are some pointers that demystify the T3 front
suspension that looks so alien to us who are more familiar with the
standard beetle or super beetle front suspensions.  Any pearls of wisdom?

Thanks, all

ps -- I was 40 minutes late from buying a 1964 Notchback that was sold for
100 DM (~60 USD).  The needed to get rid of the car before the garbage
authorities towed it away and charged him.  A prospective buyer arrived,
they put a battery in it, it started, and the guy drove away after paying
his 100 DM.  Jeez, I wouldn't have even had the heart to dicker with the
guy.  I, too, would have paid the 100DM.  Oh well.
