So, to recap here, of the many options available to me, including new differential gears and bearings, granite countertops, Delft tile ventilator hood surrounds, welded trailing arm brackets, designer toasters, and new cabinet laminate, the most workable and elegant solution seems to me the limiting straps installed by @Carlos G.

There might yet be some conflicts with that frame member that supports the body or brake lines, but I'll consult with Northern California's most eminent aircooled VW specialist for some hands on advice.

As for personal safety, I believe it was Stan himself who recently scolded that unless we live life on the edge, we're not really living it. And what could be closer to the edge, figuratively and literally, than not knowing for certain just how we're going to exit any given corner? Swing axles just naturally make every breath we draw on this earth that much more precious. We may not live as long, but we will have truly experienced the tree or bridge abutment that takes us out.

IRS smacks too much of the safe, certain, and predictable. It is modern, nanny engineering depriving us of the freedom to be wild and free.
