notes: These
are brand new forged dropped spindles based off of later-style
stock spindles. Unlike some spindles that
use a cast hub piece with a billet spindle shaft, both parts of
these spindles are drop forged billet for superior strength
(same as OEM spindle construction).
The drop on these spindles is approximately 2.5" (total
drop will depend on wheel size, tire height, and other
suspension factors). These spindles will space your front wheels
out about 1/4" on each side. Attn 66-67 Beetle / Ghia owners with the original wide-5 lug
pattern: You will need to change over to later style outer
tie-rods, later outer wheel bearings, and later disc-brake wheel
bearings. These spindles will allow you to convert your front-end
to disc brakes, but you will not be able to keep your wide-5 lug
pattern (the only rotors we sell to fit your vehicle with these
spindles is a 4-lug style).
Parts needed for installation: Outer Wheel Bearings - 311405625B Outer Tie Rod End - left -
311415811C Outer Tie Rod End - right -

Attn 67-68 Beetle / Ghia owners with the original 4-lug
pattern: If your chassis number
is up to 158/118857239,
you will need to convert over to the same parts as the above
instructions, but will be able to keep your 4-lug pattern with
stock rotors. Attn 68 & later Beetle / Ghia owners: Beyond chassis number 158/118857239, you will not need to
change any parts on your front suspension besides the wheel
bearing grease seals assuming you are converting from drum to disc
brakes.
These will not fit Super
Beetles of any year!
