944 Ali A arms into 03
I have a chance to purchase a pair of Ali A arns off an 1986 944. My question is, is it possible to use the drive shafts off an 924? I have the 901 dog leg box fitted to the 03 at the moment. the inboard CVJ is off a T4 transporter fitted with standard 03 CVJ on the A frame end. These joints are fitted onto the 924 splined shaft.
So is the above combination I've fitted already suitable to do the straight swap to the Ali Porsche 944 A arms. Any one done this conversion with the drive shafts I've got fitted at the moment can clarify it will work or won't. I don't want to swap the driveshafts off the 924 if I can use them. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers VEEMAN |

You're easiest route to fitting the Alu 'arms would be to use the shafts/CV's off the same car ('86 & '87-'9x) The hubflanges in the Alu arms are specific. But they have the same bolt pcd as your 901 outputflanges/944/T2/T4.
The 924 shafts are the same length as T1. Matt

'Forgot to mention, the Alu arms need shafts that are a good few cm's longer.

Use axles from an '86 951, or an '87+ 944S.
They have Type II CV's bolt pattern, and are 21.5 inches long.

Which is the earlier model
Hi, how much further does the Alum, trailing arm stick out for the earlier when comparing to later model?

Thanks for the reply folks.This dimension of 21.5" for the length of driveshaft. Are you including the rear shaft that sits through the ali arm plus the hub, or are you just taking the measurement form cv to cv?
I know the cv to cv length comes no where near the 21.5" for a standard 924/944 driveshaft. Hence a little confused to where you get this measurement. Once again thanks for the info. Cheers VEEMAN |

17" is for the 85.5 and earlier half shafts (including the early alloy arms), and 21.5" is for the later 944/951. I really recommend you do your homework before you start buying parts, cause there are several different setups. Superman has a excellent tech article and this very subject, and the search function will take you to several threads about this subject.

Thanks for the info Supa Ninja. By you last comments it sounds like I've got the correct bits. I'm using early pre 86 ali trailing arms ect. Looking through the forumn I took it that the only difference in the rear setups (earlier to later) was the rear hub carriers for the wheels discs, as the ali arms are near enough identical. The later setup had wider hub carriers. Although I could be totally wrong.
