 Posted: Fri May 08, 2009 10:01 am Post subject: Lifted bus, Type 4 CV question |
 |
|
Im about to tear into my '70 Doublecab to start lifting it.
Im only curious will Type 4 CV's directly bolt on or will I have to replace something else?
I mean, will my Baywindow axle's work?
I originally planned to use 930's, but several posts say that the added $$ for the 3 degree difference isnt worth it
Ive replaced CV's but never mixed and matched before....
Any help is appreciated!

They are a bit wider but a direct bolt in.
I have them installed in my off road buggy.
I used aftermarket axles with a bit longer spline though.

| ^that is the T4 cv (thing style)... the cv is thicker than the T1 and T2 cv's so they need an axle with a longer spline. i have this set up on my bug... works real good! |

You need a longer splined axle not a longer axle to run those thicker CVs.
You should have either 18-3/4" or 19-1/4" axles IIRC.
Most any performance VW dealer should have them or can get them.

^^ No No, I understood... just a typo on my part by not saying longer Splined.
