Hello again..
I totally find that my spindles & hubs came from Porsche 944,so my question is what is the difference between vw stock spindle & 944 spindle??
JIMP said, that if i have the 944 spindle this is the cause that wheels came out from the fender.So,if i change the 944 spindle with the stock vw and keep 944 hub do i solve the problem of 1cm clearance???Did anyone from you have the measurement from both spindles & hubs??
Any answer would be helpfull!

Thanks in advance
Jim

I think for that you will need a bearing spacer(vw spindle). Boygenius is getting a group buy together in the group buy forum on this site.

Porsche 944 spindles have about 1 1/2 to 2 degrees more positive camber
than the stock VW spindle, this is where the problem lies (in the design).

There are several things that you can do to over come this problem. The first thing to try is Topline's kit called Camber + that will give you and additional 6mm of camber adjustment. If that doesn't do it then you'll need to slot the upper hold of the strut to spindle mount (see a Golf or 944 strut for an example of how to do it). Also, if the spindle can be clearanced to allow the strut to seat farther into it (see pic attached).

See my website www.superbeetlesonly.com for more/other Super help.
