in the USA 74's had IRS, but in Europe I believe they all had swing axles.

the way you can check is to look under your car and take a look at your axles to see if you have a CV joint at the tranny and at the wheel.

if you have 1 CV you have a swingaxle
2 CV's and you have an IRS

I hope this helps

Swing axle cars don't have CV joints.

A 1300 Beetle in Spain will be swing axle. There is no doubt.
