550 Phil posted:I personally don't know of any IM owners who have done this. IM6 cars and IM VW/Audi cars all have this problem. Air cooled type 1, type 4 cars and suby cars do not. You can search my threads and see the research I did.
To be fair, my first set of IRS boots only lasted 25K mi or so in my Type 1/VW 4-sp as well. Moving the engine forward puts the CV joints (and boots) on a more dramatic angle than an engine in a stock location.
It's a tariff I'll gladly pay for the handling improvement.
