I'll take the "welded Diff" question"
Also known as "a locker," "Full Spool," or "CIG Special" it removes the "Defferential" system from the drive line as the unit can no longer "differentiate" torque. Thus it is no longer a differntial but rather a spool where eash wheel recieves 50% of the engines torque. Locked Diff's (spools) are great for racing, drifing and terrible for day to day driving because they "Scrub" tyres very quickly, and cause cars to tend to understeer.
This is a conventional Front McPherson Strut. The rear system is slightly different as it has trailing arms and not stearing assembly. Also there are small variations.
