| measure is your best bet to get the proper length,The bus trans are slightly offset so one side may be shorter than the other too |

| with beetle arms you'll need Thing stub axles to use the better bigger bus cvs. |

I bought some thing stub axles from Vince a week ago.
He had some used thing axles and cv's joint then for sale.
You can give him a try.

| 944/924/Thing stubs will bolt in. Type 4 and Thing complete axles will bolt in. You can use bus/thing/type 4 cvs on bug axles with or without the circlip |

| When I ran a 002 trans with bug trailing arms I used stock bug axles with bug outer cv joints and bus inner cv joints. Spline is the same and I never had any problems. The only issue is you cannot have the circlip in place on the bus cvs but I never had one pop out or give me any issue. I ran it that way for 3 years before I went to 3x3 arms. |
