SWING AXLES

Understanding the difference in axle lengths is critical for a successful build. We stock short axles typically found in early 1200cc models and long axles used in later 1500cc and 1600cc applications. For those pushing the limits in off-road environments, we also offer heavy-duty options engineered with superior metallurgy to resist twisting and snapping under high-torque loads.

Our Swing Axle Selection Features:

• Short & Long Axle Configurations: Exact-fit replacements for various year ranges of the Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and early Bus.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to withstand the increased leverage and impact of off-road tires and high-horsepower engines.

• Precision Machined Splines: Ensures a perfect interface with your axle nuts and differential gears, eliminating play and vibration.

• Complete Compatibility: Designed for standard VW swing axle tubes and side gears, making installation straightforward for the DIY mechanic.

• Durable Finishes: Resilient surfaces that resist corrosion, essential for vehicles exposed to the elements or sand.
