could have gotten PD axels,same strength, no need for new flanges.

 

[AUGSX]

These will be going for sale.

the VR6 axles really aren't stronger.. Well, the axle itself is, but the inboard joint on the TDI is stronger than the VR6.. The guts are bigger, and look to be more heavy duty.. I had one of each apart to compare and after looking at both for a little while, I went with stock axles for the monster over the VR6 axles..

Raxles are still around.

well, I haven't been able to break the OE ones so I'll wait until they finally fail.. They have 220k on them so it's only a matter of time LOL

How about V10 Touareg axles ?

Really? At least pick a choice from the same platform...

Ya I'm not sure it would be worth the trouble to make them fit LOL..

I'll be running stock axles until they fail, if they do.. Honestly I think the inner joint of the TDI axle is more robust than the VR6, not sure about the shaft itself, but I haven't broken either at this point.. I'm sure a pair of slicks can change that..

What`s wrong with some experimentation ? Engine modifications are fairly common and almost easy to do nowadays.

A new geometry is not. Here you can prove your skill.

 

[diesel-dave]

how about unimog axles

 

[TDIJetta99]

LMAO go ahead and try to break one of those with a TDI

 

[milehighassassin]

I really doubt tourag axles will fit without cutting and rewelding. What is the point, they will be weak after that.

If you need super strong, raxles are the way to go. Some big power has been put down with those.

Cutting and rewelding is useless.

Build a new subframe, or modifiy the existing one, rework the towers, try to determine best kingpin alignment. Hardcore.

Ya after some reading Raxles seems to be the way to go if you want a set that won't break..

These guys claim to have a 1000hp rated axle (not torque rated) for the 02J. Apparently they can build custom ones too...

Such a high price for two axles. With that kind of money you replace the whole front-end suspension and driveshafts.

iv snapped the inner joint in 1st gear, stock turbo stock tune....just fuel mods...

replaced with a mk3 1.9td, its exactly the same haha.

 

[TDIJetta99]

huh... I have 240k on OE axles with 200hp and 9" wide tires and I haven't blown one up yet, but I'm not lowered or anything so that might have a lot to do with it..

 

[loudspl]

Raxles or Driveshaftshop...there may be others also
IIRC the Rally TDI Golf (circa 2005) had "1000hp" rated axles and still managed to snap inner joints, etc. when running slicks at the strip
Best option is just to run some OEM axles and if you lunch 'em they don't cost too much to replace (get at junkyards, etc.)
Don't run slicks and you should be fine

 

[dieselpower04]

I'm low and I haven't snapped an axle either!!!
