swing axle and IRS In edition 08 we gave a short introduction about the suspension of our old Volkswagens. We made an abstraction of the two types of drive shafts that Volkswagen used on all air-cooled models, especially the old swing axle and the modern IRS (independent rear suspension).
the VW suspension Ferdinand Porsche came up with an ingenious concept at the beginning of the last century. A car that was built on the basis of a steel chassis plate with an independent and self-supporting body. Most of the cars from that period were built around a tubular chassis, so the Volkswagen Beetle (then still a Kdf-car) was revolutionary.
independent suspension Fixed one-piece front axles with leaf springs or torsion springs as on the VW Beetle, were widely used until the end of the sixties. Due to the demand for more comfort, better steering and by driving longer distances, the independent front suspension became more and more popular on luxury cars.
VW part numbering All VW parts are identified by a unique reference number. This reference is made up of 9 digits, to which sometimes a letter is added. The oldest book with VW references we could find is the one of the Beetle of 1949, Volkswagen used 6 digits to indicate the parts, from 1956 on 9 digits can be seen.
buying a VW Beetle When you want to buy a vintage car, looking at the body and the interior is not enough. Most surprises will be seen at the bottom and the chassis. Some flaws are not so bad and can be fixed with a limited budget and not too much technical knowledge. In this article we study the underside of a 1960 Volkswagen Beetle 1200.
