But that would still require me to split my tranny, right? I don’t think I’m ready for that yet…. Can’t afford to mess it up.
That’s what I was looking for….more trouble than it’s worth right now.
If I changed the final drive, wouldn’t I need to change it in the rear diff as well?
This issue is very common with drum brakes. I’ve even seen this happen to newer (2-3 years old) cars that have been parked for a length of time.
Mine does this also, sometimes only after being parked overnight when it’s raining. A little shove and she’s off again, and I had no problems with my last inspection as far as the brake test was concerned, so I assume they’re fine.
Just the old girl showing her age again.You’re right about the axle nut torque. When I first got the car, I noticed that the axle nut was loose, so I tightened it to the specified torque, but the damage was already done, so I was just buying myself some time by doing so.
***UPDATE***
Guess what? Now the OTHER front wheel bearing is bad…who would have thought? lol.
The only 80 I’ve ever seen with Quattro was the Coupe… and if the Audi is the same as the Golf Syncro, the floor pans are probably completely different.

I am looking at fitting some 16″ Borbet ‘A’ 7.5in front and 9in rears with 225/40/16 tyres all round.
Is this going to cause any issues?
cheers
Someone hasn’t been paying attention…
YES! This WILL cause issues!!!
