Air Cooled VW 2" Narrowed Ball Joint Style Front Axle Beam, Adjustable for a Drop Up to 2"
These Air Cooled VW Front Axle Beams are the solution for front tire clearance issues when using disc brake conversion kits, negative wheel offsets, or wider wheels and tires. Early King and Link pin and later ball joint versions are available along with the narrowed spring leaves, narrowed sway bars and narrowed tie rods for a seamless installation.
- Narrowed 2 full inches (one inch on each side)
- Adjustable height up to 2 inches

Tech Note: Adjusting ride height requires setting the axle beam adjusters at the highest point after the spindles are installed. Then loosen the lock nut at the bottom using equal turns on both top and bottom to achieve the desired height. Make sure the lock nuts are tightened after adjustment is complete.
