Golf II/III Motor Mounts and axles

Corrado hubs are the same bearings and same hubs!....hmm, I may need to look into the axles....stock stuff is cheaper for me, but I love reliability....the idea of running an event and bringing the car home without doing anything other than fluid changes gives me wood, especially after nearly disassembling the rabbit completely after nearly every event, alot of wasted time there...

Derek,

What's the reason behind resplining the stock hubs vs using theirs?

They had done some machining on the hubs and used a insert with an extremely shap tip, ie no radius, and the things fractured right at the corner left by the cutter.
Look at any OEM hub and there are always generous radii and big fillets, big smooth transitions.
When he broke em Derek and I ran around in his sleek ass Le-gassy thing to try and do something quick and to find the broach to respline some and in the end, since Derek is "diplomatic" they agreed to broach the splines into some untouched hubs as a way of making up for the expensive shit breaking.

Damn. So that is how you fixed it.

I thought you just bought new axles (I have some from them and they aren't any better than rebuilt crap from NAPA).

SO you actually resplined your hubs for big-ass CVs? Never thought of that. Might just solve the problem!

jeez, another sweet VW thread. I gotta come back here more often!

you know, I ask myself that same question...often too..

I think that driveshaftshop.com's normal clients do drag racing and thus eliminating mass at the hub made a lot of good since. They reduced the with of the bolt circle area and removed material from the joint of the vertical and horizontal areas. However as I turn and stop and do so on less then good roads a little more width and mass at the hub is a good idea. I also have this silly idea that when ever my foot is not planted firmly on the big peddle to the right I am loosing time so I tend to leave it there even when there might be big rocks or dips in the road. As Tom might agree this is hard on equipment...

In the long run reality always wins.

think it, speak it, live it.

I can verify this is faster yet harder on equipment....but faster is way more fun, don't let anyone tell you any different.
