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 |

I do have axles. I have two pairs of 914-4 axles, and I'd like to use those. Sounds like the way to go is with the 944 CV at the end of one of those, and leave the inboard (transmission side) stock, until some point down the road when those wear out and I can do the 944 conversion there as well.
The only question I have is that of spacing. Cloudbuster says I need a spacer to fit the 914 trailing arms, Johnman says I don't. I guess I could try it out, but does anyone know for sure whether the 914/4 axles will require spacers to use this 6-bolt flange? -Tony |
