Dennis,


Sounds like the voice of experience re a Syncro with a rear flat.  Please do share, how did the van respond and what was the situation when the problem occured?  I have wondered how our Westy Syncro would respond with a blowout at highway speeds.


Mark in AK   with an inquiring mind and a road trip starting Wednesday morning

> I once drove with a rear flat and did not know it until someone waved me down. That was on a 2 wheel drive. Yes, the Vanagon is quite stable with rear flats. The Syncro will get your attention quickly though once the VC starts grabbing.
