#1: rear beam Author: LilLew, Location: PlymouthPosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 12:08 pm ---- Hi all
i am currently having the fun of finding and replacing my rear axle on my 180 i have been looking on ebay rear beam
i am wondering if i order it would i benefit from doing the bearing for safety i dont really want to fork out for another beam
#2: Re: rear beam Author: Seabook, Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 12:11 pm ---- too expensive for a disc axle lol
for that price+ new bearing it would be better to just get your axle recon.
before u ask where to recon the axle please search

Recon rear beam with a years warranty for hardly much more
Drive the car over to them & they will fit it at no extra charge

Also try IMaxles, or rebuild it yourself providing the pins are okay.

its a shame i wont be able to drive over because it failed its mot
when the bearing go does it cause any damage to the stub pins on the stub axles
it will left score mark on the stub.
9 out of 10 if you find there is play in the axle it is too late to do any repair work apart from putting a new stub pin on

Why? SSP did my axle about 18 months ago, still going strong and fitted by them.

#10: Re: rear beam Author: LilLew, Location: PlymouthPosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 2:01 pm ---- what would be the best way to change the stub pins

I have an update i have contacted ssp and martin from there has said when you get an axle from them it comes with stub axles all i need to do in bolt on the discs and calipers
also he say that the gti 180 torsion bars are a pain to find the right ones for the car and it would be easyer for me to send mine to him and have it fully refurb £365 inc VAT + £40 p&p and it will take around 4 days
can any one else vouch for this company and personally i trhink this is a good deal what do you guys think
