This subject, I believe over the last 30 years, has flipped-flopped, as to which is the
better arrangement. Both systems have advantages and disadvantages,
as well as ways to get around the not-so-good points of each configuration. These rear
drive axle changes spanned model year style changes. The original GT6 MKI started out with
swing axles. The GT6 MKII and early GT6 MKIII had the rotoflex rear axles with lower
a-arms. In mid to Late 1973, many GT6 MKIII's left the factory with the swing swing axle
configuration.
