If you look at the front suspension of any beetle you can tell if it is a super or non-super beetle. If there is a McPherson front suspension then it is a super beetle. If there is a torsion bar front suspension then it is a non-super beetle.

Not without a huge amount of work. Until 1968 VW used swing arm rear suspension. In 1969 they changed to Independent Rear Suspension, with CV joints.
The Super Beetle has a slightly longer body (front end) and more modern McPherson front suspension instead of the torsion tube type.
Well...it depends. A Regular Beetle (flat windshield, no slots in the apron under the front bumper, spare tire upright, steel dashboard) has no springs in either end of the suspension. A Super Beetle (curved windshield, slots in the front apron, spare tire lying flat, plastic dashboard) has McPherson Strut front suspension with springs around the shocks, but no springs in the rear suspension.
It has macpherson struts in the front and torsion springs at the rear.
There are quite a few effects of eliminating beetle from food web. One is that everything that eats this beetle might die.
No, the super beetle had rack and pinion steering and macpherson stut suspension. The standard had torsion tubes where the steering box mounted. sorry totally different.
There might be a squeaking noise when driving slow in your 2000 Beetle because your suspension needs to be replaced. The squeaking can also come from the universal joint.

super beetles have a little more rounded front end and the main difference is the super beetle has macpherson strut front suspension as oposed to the beam style bug suspension. the macpherson strut is okay for street only and be sure that all rubber bushings are good or else very shakey down the road. the super beetle is muchless desireable and holds less value super beetles have a little more rounded front end and the main difference is the super beetle has macpherson strut front suspension as oposed to the beam style bug suspension. the macpherson strut is okay for street only and be sure that all rubber bushings are good or else very shakey down the road. the super beetle is muchless desireable and holds less value
