I knew that was coming.

What people do not widely know, is that he printed a retraction, saying that
the problems were fixed, '63 and later. It had to do with the fact that the
rear axles only had one U-joint, at the transaxle. After they put in two
per side, and made the wheels travel straight up and down, they were fine.

Bonus points. What rear engine air cooled engine car never put the two
extra U-joints per side in, and in some parts of the world, are still
produced that way?


The situation is more complicated than you make it sound.
