ZS rear beam/early mk4 stub axles

Postby voorhas on Thu Jan 29, 2004 11:13 am

Can anybody tell me if the ZS rear beam stub axle hole pattern is similar to the early type mk4 one? I'm considering the possibility of ordering a rear beam but since that scrappy is 200 miles away from me, I need to know for sure if I can get away with ordering just the beam and shocks (my car has fork type lower mountings, hence the need for the shocks).

I know ZS drums are bigger and I should go for the whole thing, but what can I say, I'm a cheap person :lol:

It seems that way.

Yes the bolt pattern is the same, get the front struts too.

U definitely are a cheeky person, aren't u? Very helpful, though. I'm getting on the phone as soon as I stop badmouthing u over here...

I can't get the front struts... the car only exists from the B pillars to the back. It was one hell of a smash, I tell thee.

I take back what I just wrote... you're totally expendable. No help at all... what took you so long? The rear beam has now been sold. Its all your fault!

Yes but you really should have snapped up the beam first then asked later :)
