I have been readin up on the 944 CV joint threads and thought to myself... "I wonder what stub axles my car has." Right now the project car has an unfinished rear setup. There are early 911 hubs (according to P.O.), and some vented rotors, bearings, and some kind of stub axle. In addition there are some 944 drum brake parts installed.
I have no idea what kind of stub axle they are since they are installed. However, they do have 6 threaded holes. How can I tell what type of stub axles I have? Is there a measurement that I could make, for instance the diameter of the rin gon which the holes sit? If I have early 911 stub axles, whay then can I do for a CV joint? Also, if I end up having to ditch the 911 early stub axles (IF thats what they are) then can I do the 944 setup on the wheel end of the driveshaft only? -Tony |

It all depends on what (or how) you want to do it.
do you have axles? If you have 914-4 axles, you could do some machining to the axle ends and use 944 (33-spline) CV Joints and they will bolt to the stub axles you show. (DO A SEARCH FOR 944 CV Joints) If you have 914-6 axles, you could do some machining to the axle ends and use 911 (up to 1984) CV Joints and they will bolt to the stub axles you show (This is what I'm doing). What this does is allow the use of available CV joints and no adapters or spacers. The proper length (914) axle shafts will be used. The machining that needs to be done to the axle ends is minor. The 911 and 944 CV joints are wider by about 1/4". The shoulders on the ends of the axles simply need to be turned down to allow the circlip to fit in the groove with the new CV joint installed on the splines. The difference inlength between 911 and 914 axle shafts is significant, and the 911 axles being too short, will wear out quickly without a proper spacer and longer CV joint bolts. Patrick Motorsports sells an adapter (spacer) that adapts 914 transmission output flanges to use late model 911 axle shafts (with integral stub axles). These are good axles, but are useless without the spacer/adapters as they wear out very quickly otherwise. Ask me how I know. |
