I wonder if it's in the Porsche Bentleys as well? More research to do. :) Many thanks to Mike Catlin and David Milo for pointing that out. Hmmm, maybe if I shift the whole assembly toward the passenger side, use the right AT axle on the left and a stock axle on the right, then I'm within 1/8" per side which may be close enough. Also, I'm a bit concerned about the TDI EGR fitting on the left side so this could make more clearance to the left frame rail. I'll check it out.
