Passat B4 Hubs & Subframe
« on: 05 July 2010, 18:03 »
Picked up a full Passat B4 subframe setup at the weekend for my Mk2 1.8T project.

My question is, do I need to use the Passat hubs or can I use the orignal Mk2 ones?

Also, what is this massive block of metal for that was on the passat sub frame and do I need it?



Thanks

The massive block of metal is a vibration damper and is not needed.

be interesting to see if that subframe will fit, ive heads some say its too wide and some say it fits fine. however even if it does fit it wont give you widetrack, its the wishbones that do that. but if it does fit it means you can use the passat chunky roll bar, wont fit a mk2 type subframe properly as it bends in the wrong spot

Well I can confirm that the passat subframe I have is totally different from the mk2 one.

The rear mounting point has a different shape which meant it wouldnt sit flush up against the body:


and the front mounting point is angled and higher on the passat subframe:


Hope that is of some help RJ...

So is a B4 just a facelifted B3 or does it have a lot more differences
