The C5 and C6 Chevrolet Corvette, Lexus LF-A, Porsche 924, Porsche 928, Porsche 944, Aston Martin DBR9, Aston Martin DBS, Aston Martin DB7, and the Mercedes AMG SLS also use variations on this design, mostly with rear-mounted transaxles." Used on a modern Mercedes Used on mid-50s Ramblers I guess our 1/2 ton torque tubes are live axles with no pan hard link? | | |
