Andrew,

I'm just seeing this thread and your answer brings a few questions to mind:
I have an 2 WD '83 Westphalia  watercooled with a transmission converted to
have a vacuum operated locking differential(from a Syncro).  How do you
think it would work on bad roads with a rear sway bar and the diff lock on.
How about on the highway?  By wheel articulation do you mean the fact that
all wheels are touching the ground at the same time?

John
