(hub's and trailing arms are the same for '87 NA and T) It is all on my '70 type1, and were all too wide for my future '62 single cab project. You need '85 and earlier backing plates for steel arms and '85 and earlier hub's. You can go NA, or Turbo.

Lanner, help this guy out!

Thanks so much for sharing, Lanner and I have already spoken and he suggested the same as you did, i was just curios if there were alternative ways to install them.

A fellow GL'er offered me a set of 86 turbo arms.. would they work??
