So you are saying the 924 drive shaft with the relavant CVJ will do the conversion over to the 944 Ali A arms.
Can you please clarify this matter for me.

Oops! I didn't elaborate much, did I?

My axles are from an '87 944S. They are almost 21.5" long, and have 33 splines on each end. Type I CV's will slide right on. Any 944S had aluminum arms, and thus the longer axles.

I don't think any 924 axles will work for this conversion, unless a 924S came with aluminum arms, which I genuinely don't know if they did.

One point that boygenius told me about is that axles from 924, and 944 Turbos may not work because although they are the right length, they are splined differently (28 splines, I think).

Veeman, be lookin' for an '87 and later 944S, or 944S2, with a manual transmission for your axles.
