I paid about $300 for my complete rear suspension but that included torsion bars, spring plates, aluminum torsion tube end caps, trailing arms with new discs and axles.:D

Hi Alex, I just did the conversion with MBT's monoball setup. I used the 86Turbo cv and axle shaft with the 181 flange at the gear box. The setup with the torque bar setup is good. Its like running on rails!:)

They are showing that these axle assemblies are the same.
Manual transmission only.
1. 1985 1/2 - 1987 (944 and 944S)
2. 1987-1988 (924s)
3. 1986 (944 turbo)

1987 and later turbo axles use a differant spline pattern than VW so you would have to use only porsche cv's. Hope this helps. If you need any more specific measurements let me know.:D

genius, what about axles from an '88 944NA? seems outside of what you have above. i am mostly interested in the ight length. i will switch to Porsche CVs if i need to. i have to check if these are the wide arms too.

I don't really know if they would be the same. The differance in years might be as simple as a different spline length or something like that. If you find a set for sale just ask the seller to count the spines and measure the length. if they are the same as the earlier ones they should work. :)

looks like these are 19" axles. :bawling:

can still use his arms, but now i have to look at hubs and disks again and make sure i have something that can work with my 951 calipers on late arms.

Hi Alex,
I used the 944t axles on the 86 944turbo trailing arm fits just right. Cheers. :)

well i can confirm that '87 944S axles are 25 splines and not interchangeable with VW CVs.

silverbullet, i just came back to this post and saw you had info i am requesting in a different one (i am way to scrambled at the moment :rolleyes: ). looks like you have the info i am looking for with the T181 outputs, porsche axles and ali arms. follow-up though:

are the axles 21" (measure CV mounting surface on the output flange to the stub axle)?

Hi Zen,

I just came back with the measurements under the car, I can't exactly measure the axles accurately but with the measuring tape, yes its about 21'' from output flange to stub axle. Hope it helps :) The car has been on the road for about a month plus and everythings seems alright. I'm happy :)

zen	February 25th 2004 06:58

exactly what i was looking for. there was just concern over the added length of the T181 CV. sounds like it is a non-issue.
