Completely Classic Volkswagen Front Axle Beam Assemblies | PRObuilt by Airkewld

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!

Also: The products listed in the section below are quality controlled by the PRO's to ensure you are getting a quality component that meets or exceeds expectations. Stage 1 is a "static" adjustable beam and Stage 2 is an "air ride" adjustable beam. Any of these beams can be built from stock width and stock height to narrowed and even raised for a lifted stance.

a PRO's Take | Product Advice & Recommendation

"The term PRObuilt, should resonate with you. It means that a PRO is in charge to ensure you and your family are safe when choosing a PRObuilt component. Safety isn't flashy, it isn't cool or hip. But, it is a major part of our DNA."

Trust is earned and reputation makes decisions easy. - Airkewld CEO Pete Skiba
