Which axles to use with al 944 arms?

[zen]

looks like these are 19" axles.

can still use his arms, but now i have to look at hubs and disks again and make sure i have something that can work with my 951 calipers on late arms.

alex, i can't seem to find it, but several months ago we had a very detailed thread on options in this area including output flange and CV options. i still have yet to fit mine up. that will be happening in the next two months though.

I think it was WHY TYPE 181 FLANGES.

I don't know how to make a link out of it, sorry.

Doh,

I should have used the search function.

Got the info I needed.

Thanks a lot guys,

let us know how it goes alex. yeti sent me some axles off of a vanagon i plan on using.

i got my arms prepped for removal today. just have axles, trailing arm mount and spring plate and they are out.

Well I guess I will call some Porsche wreckers tomorrow or after new years to find some axles. I need 540-550mm axles from a 86 Turbo (I read so in the other thread). Those vanagon ones should work too.

Try ebay for your axles. I got both of mine for $140 including shipping, from my experiences wrecker yards usually want double what the part sells for on ebay.

I paid about $300 for my complete rear suspension but that included torsion bars, spring plates, aluminum torsion tube end caps, trailing arms with new discs and axles.

Hi Alex, I just did the conversion with MBT's monoball setup. I used the 86Turbo cv and axle shaft with the 181 flange at the gear box. The setup with the torque bar setup is good. Its like running on rails!

Oh yes I got the whole axle setup from PartsHeaven. Good service!
