[T3] Front beam...

[Keith Park]

The VW gods are trying to tell you something :-)

If it hasn't been lubed properly or water has gotten into the needle
bearings thru a rotted beam it may have rusted the needle bearings to the
torsion arms, Ive often seen rust in there but the grease usually keeps
things from seizing, but with no grease.....  but around here all beams are
rusty and in the NW your less likely to have a hole in your beam.

This is one for Keith. The front beam on the 71 notchback has frozen in the
full up position. I have never seen this before and I thought you would
like it. Any ideas on how this happened to it verses being frozen after
being dropped?
