Im new to volkswagens, so bare with me on these couple of questions. I cant seem to figure out what exactly you guys are considering independent rear suspension. Having only really worked on older cars, chevys, mopars, etc... I can tell the difference between solid and independent rear ends, but having recently acquired a 64 beetle i have been informed that it is in fact NOT a independent rear even though i can plainly see the two axles moving independent of each other. I actually got in a bit of an argument over it with a friend. A solid rear is very identifiable and my volkswagen definitly doesn't have this setup, someone please explain??????
