  View original topic: Bus / Bug Torsion Comparison

Hello all...used to frequent this years ago before life got in the way of the hobby. Thinking lately about getting back in to it. I've burned hours looking for this answer, and probably missed it a few times but can any one tell me if a bus torsion is the same as a bug? Obviously there will be differences in the trans, but will standard 3x3 arms, etc bolt right up? Are the CVs the same? It seems like I remember (barely) something about being able to use Vanagon axles/CVs with 2x3 arms to gain some cheap travel...or maybe that's just old age catching up with me :lol:

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I believe the bus set up is completely different and not typically suitable or used in the off road scene. Now you can easily use the larger bus cv's and possibly the axles in some applications if the lengths are right.

Bus is very different. But I've always wondered if a some 3x3 arms would fit a bus.

Bus is similar to 2x3 arms, that's why you use stock bus axles with them and a bus box.
