[Vwdiesel] RE: [Audi-VW-Diesels] non engine trouble

[Adrian Snare]

  An impact forceful enough to actually break a Volkswagen axle will
slightly bend other things as well, the body itself, the strut, perhaps
even the powerpack has been shifted.  It is now precision measurement time,
I guess the best would be a sample straight VW. Maybe Bentley has some
figures.  Adrian the hammer mechanic
