1949-65 Beetle Complete Front Beam - Adjustable Price: $2999.99+
|
The PRObuilt line of products for the Classic Volkswagen is always expanding and it shows with these complete beam assemblies. - by Pete Skiba - PRO since 2002 | Airkewld.com | Updated on 6/1/23
What if I told you, the PRO's can build you a beam that will WoW you? How?
The Build. The Finish. The Hardware. The Detail. The Quality. The Packaging. The Fit. The Function. The Ride. The User Experience. Is the Hype real?
Experience is what makes the PRO's at Airkewld, Artisan's in the Classic Volkswagen Drive-Train. 20+ years designing, fabricating, building and assembling, all components of the VW drive-train, the PRO's are still not satisfied. Everyday, improvements are made. Everyday, the PRO's get incrementally better with all processes of these components. The Hunger... is Real!

The BEST way to adjust a Classic Volkswagen Type 1 with link pin front suspension (1949 through 1965), up or down, is by installing a Complete PRObuilt Beam. When the PRO's say complete, they mean complete. You will not need anything in addition to this assembly.
The Stage 1 PRObuilt Beam is built on the Ultimate Beam platform. It's made in stock width and up to four inches narrower than OEM to allow for wider wheels, drop spindles, and disc brakes, that add track width.
The complete beam comes as you see it, spindle to spindle, with an entire PRObuilt steering system installed and ready to bolt in and go. For a full list of details included with the beam assembly, visit the Complete Details section here. This beam replaces the factory beam part number 113401021A.
What's included?
This Stage 1 PRObuilt Beam is spindle to spindle, built in any configuration, from stock to four inch narrowed. It comes powder-coated, satin black, ready to install. The front end comes complete with the following;
New Ultimate Adjustable Beam
New Torsions
New Tie rods
New Shocks
New Drum Drop Spindles (CB Performance/EMPI) or OEM Spindles
New Steering Dampener
New Hardware
New Grease Zerks
Premium Tie rod Ends
German Link Pins
German King Pins
PRObuilt Steering Box filled with Corn Head Grease
Reconditioned pitman/drop arm/clamp
PRObuilt Control Arms
Reconditioned Steering Knuckles
What's recommended?
When it comes to how narrow you need, check out this article here https://www.airkewld.com/How-to-lower-your-VW-Beetle-Ghia-the-right-way-s/2540.htm
The PRO's recommend a FOUR Inch narrowed for most applications as it allows for just about any wheel to fit and tuck under the fenders. If you are going for the dropped look and want to run either Airkewld's GEN 2 Disc Brake kit https://www.airkewld.com/Classic-VW-Front-Disc-Brake-Kit-4150G2-p/4150g2.htm or your factory drums opt for the DRUM Drop Spindles. If you are keeping the drop moderate, a stock height spindle is recommended. If you want to run the disc brakes you already have, click here https://www.airkewld.com/article-a/310.htm
Install kit (saves time, ensuring you have everything needed to do the job right) New beam bolts, upper and lower body pads, and inspection plate) .
Shocks (Sport Shocks are perfect for a majority of our clients. Smooth ride and just enough tension for the proper feel. If you want to determine your ride and feel, opt for the adjustable shocks)
If you want to make this beam install even more complete, maybe installing a GEN 2 Disc Brake kit might make sense. To have the PRO's install them, you will need to add the labor and then choose your disc brake kit.
If your steering coupler from your column to your steering box has seen better days, the PRO's suggest the OEM PRObuilt Steering Box Coupler found here https://www.airkewld.com/OEM-PRObuilt-Steering-Box-Coupler-Assembly-p/2484.htm

FAQ
Do I need to do body mods to install this beam? No. The inside dimension is 29 13/16". That gives a clearance of 1/16" on each side. If the vehicle has been in an accident, it is possible that minimal massaging will be needed to install based on the size of buckle near the shock tower location.
How do you narrow the beam 4" when I only have 1/2 inch on each side of my stock beam? We utilize the outer ends of the tubes and gusset outwards to give us the needed space. Here https://youtu.be/TEqWRKmXUQw is a video that explains it.
Do I need to send in a core? No. The PRO's have a few options for your cores. Check them out here https://www.airkewld.com/Core-Parts-Program-s/2366.htm
Will I need anything in addition to this assembly? No. It's as complete as it comes from the factory.
My car is sitting crooked before and after installing my New PRObuilt Beam. What is causing the problem? Check out this article https://www.airkewld.com/Indentify-the-condition-of-your-suspension-s/2484.htm on identifying the condition of your drive-train.
The front end will be coated apart and assembled to keep the clean look with new hardware. It's set to the medium height setting so that you can adjust it to your liking. It's pre-greased, and alignment will set in a rough application for shipping.
