Rear axle

[oakgreengolf]

hi another quickie. Ive gone wide track on the front with the toledo sub-frame setup. Will I need to swap the rear axle over to achieve wide track on the back, Ive read somewhere about spacers?. Secondly I am thinking of doing the bushes, I hear the poly ones are easiest to do but are not as good as vw ones. suggestions appreciated. cheers

ive seen some spacers that bolt behind the stub axle but cant remember wether i saw them on here or not

Just fit the Toledo rear beam, with new VAG bushes and see how you find it.

The firmer polybushes are supposed to make the rear end snappy, but that's probably a comment from people used to sloppy old bushes and lacking car control.

N1 rear toledo axle it is then i here the vag bushes are rather awkward to fit where as the poly ones are easier

Id second that, should mean less geometry change but whos to argue with rumour lol.

you might want to measure the beam from axle plate to axle plate before you swap it, some of the widetrack car rear beams arn't actually any wider than the normal ones.
