    it can be, its partly why I didnt do a diff in the car. I didnt want it to be worse for my bride who drove it most. Raising the car up and putting some proper tires on it would help significantly with torque and bump steer.

    You must feel a bit of guilt letting this go. Good luck w sale. I had '85 GTi but always loved the lines of earlier cars.
