Driveshaft Variations

With all the variations out there available to run on a VW this information might be helpful to some.

The Bug spline length is not long enough to use the Type 2/Type 4 CV's without milling the shoulder down for snap ring clearance.

If the machining is done, the axle will be weaker and can snap right in that area.

The Type 2 and Type 4 CV's have the same width center cage (28mm), so they are basically interchangeable between each other's axles and no need for milling.

                                
Bus = 18-3/4" long                  Bus = 34mm

                                
Bug = 16-5/16"                        Bug = 28mm

                                
Porsche/181 = 16-1/8"             Porsche/181 = 33mm
