now that's how you start a new page!

big improvements happened:
-front diff was low, topped off with 85-140 diff honey
-rear diff was over full but thin ... siphoned some and re-filled with diff honey
-front drive shaft removed
-rear drive shaft replaced 2 caps to the joint is tight at the axle
-track bar bolt was falling out ... reinstalled with nut this time
-greased all TRE and Ball joints
-drained strawberry milkshake from the t-case ... refilled with MTF and some trany honey
-reset the IQ in the TDI ECU to slightly smooth the idle some

still need to check all timing mechanical vs digital is aligned in the ECU, but i need a paid copy of the VCDS first. working on that. rear shaft still vibrates, but in general the whole thing is WAY better!!

ordered a new steering stabilizer, adjustable front UCAs, and an SYE. should be dialed in no time.

i'm also fairly sure i'm going to cut the front coils down by like 1" cuz this motor is so freaking light. the front is taller than the back, and i added lift shackles to the back over the kit.
