Hi guys, tried searching but couldn't find a definite answer  . Are all long swing axle tubes the same T1/T3 besides the sway bar bracket? I read through all the threads about changing axle tube lengths and what not but couldn't find an answer to my question. I have a damaged axle tube and would just like to buy a new set, I'm not using the brackets so would T1 long axle tubes work or is the bearing housing different. I found these CB ones with boots and side plates already mounted, will they fit my 64? http://www.vwparts.net/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PRO...ange_high= Thanks in advance
