Bag bug: I have type2 stub axles out of the box so that I can use type2 or 944 cv's.
I've also got 944 trailing arms and stub axles.
This link shows the differneces of the cv joints
http://www.blindchickenracing.com/Ho...joints_101.htm


On the left is a type1 axle and on the right a 944, this clearly shows the difference in spline lenght and why a type2 or 944 cv will not fit on a type1 axle because of the difference in width of the cv inner race.


Here we see the overall lenght of the different axles, from the top is the type1 axle (in a lovely shade of blue, don't ask!) then 2 different lenght 944 axles. But why have I got two different lenghts as I didn't think the 944 gearbox was off set?

The axle lenghts are :
Type1 416mm
944 382mm & 411mm
