If the brake drum is hot after driving then it is a brake problem, if there is wheel wobble in the wheel when it is jacked up then it is bearings, if your CV boots are torn, then it may be the CV joint. > Oh yeah.....also......someone before me put in a Type1 gas tank.

The steel breather lines rust on the inside until they no longer breathe. You can replace them with rubber hose or bulk steel brake line. Later cars used a plastic line in some places, much better idea. Jim - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA *******************************
