When I search for info on different axle, stub axle, hub, cv combinations I can't find much help. Most everything is kinda iffy or vague and I find lots of contradiction from
one post to another about what will work togther. There are many confused people out there I'm sure.

If anyone is running a frankenstein setup or is a sure expert on the topic, please fill us in. Part numbers and pictures are nice too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I found the same subject confusing when upgrading my car to 5 lug, upgrading brakes and adding Fuch wheels.

Turning hubs down to prevent making contact with calipers, proper spacing of rear calipers, correct brake pad pin lengths, obtaining correct o-rings along with many other areas to "remember" are just a few things that come to mind when researching this project. I had enough going on with the V8 conversion and wanted to get this thing on the road.

I elected to pay Rich Johnson to gather all parts, rebuild as necessary and finish to like new condition. The experience was very pleasant and Rich delivered exactly what I wanted. He is very expereinced in this area and his advice on parts selection also helped me determine what to use. The best thing about this was all parts fit and looked like new when assembled.

I purchased my upgraded axles and cv's from Renegade and all other parts came from Rich.
