[QUOTE="cunning plan, post: 435252, member: 4090"] Okay, so I understand the front, the leaves are held in place and work with / against each-other to provide spring. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/v8_nate/VW%20Bay%201968%20Project/ScreenShot2013-06-23at193236.png[/img] However, I am really not sure how the rear works? :? [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/v8_nate/VW%20Bay%201968%20Project/ScreenShot2013-06-23at193720.png[/img] So the torsion arms go into the splines in the rear axle and the other end connects to the spring plate. BUT what is IN the axle? What makes it 'spring'? Instead of the axle getting bigger or staying the same size to house a spring mechanism, it actually gets smaller, almost like there are two axles.
