Tubular Front Control arms for Superbeetle
Finally finished my tubular front control arms for my Superbeetle(1303).
This version allows for 25mm roll centre correction. Made in Chromoly. Length is adjustable from 0-+50mm wider than stock. 3/4" Chromoly Heim joints at both ends. Would anyone be interested in a set? |

Very nice, to be honest I had missed the chromoly bit for the ball joint until today. Is it just bolted into the rose joint, I.e. threaded from below. Can u snap or provide more info on ur top mounts for ur struts? Alex

Hi vw1303,
I am interested in a set as I am restoring/modifying my 1303. I have the 944NA spindles and Golf Mk1 coilover struts. Does the ball joint extender fit the 944 spindle? Tim |

I'm also running 944 front knuckles. These "ball joint extenders" are 17mm so they will fit your 944 knuckles. I can make them with the standard 15mm as well.
Also you can specificy how much roll centre correction you would like. I tried 50mm but it didn't clear my 15" wheels. Also it seems like some guys are shortening there control arms to help clear big wheels. The overall length of these arms can also be specified in shorter or longer than stock. Another thing is that these arms are 100% bolt on. No modifications necassary. |

I'd be interested in a set. Would even bring your springs back!

Price will be approx. $500CAD. These are made to order: overall length, roll centre correction, and ball joint size can all be specified by the customer. No need to order special ball joints from Germany to run 944 knuckles. This may seem expensive but only slighty more expensive than "new" OEM control arms with bushings and ball joints. These control arms can solve the problem of too much positive camber when running Porsche 944 knuckles.
Please email volksfolks@hotmail.com for any more info. Thanks Last edited by vw1303; February 14th 2013 at 14:33. |

Is there a weight advantage?
It would have been extra nice if the ball joint extention would have been excentric so you could dial in extra caster...? |
