(what does this mean?)
tech 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 - 311415812C

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!
