Glad to hear it went well Allen! Do whatever the physical therapist tells you to do! The rehab is probably the most critical part of the process!And now I won’t feel guilty asking… is that an independent joint? Or a swing arm? :lol:My lord, I’m hilarious! 😀

If they used the VW VIN, it is stamped into the center tube of the chassis, right above the access panel for the shift rod to Transmission connection. In other words, under the seat!
