The BEST way to adjust a Classic Volkswagen Type 1 with link pin front suspension (1949 through 1965), 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 Shockless PRObuilt Beam is built on the Ultimate Beam platform. It's made six inches narrower than OEM for that low look and 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.

What's recommended?
- If you are going for the dropped look and want to run either Airkewld's GEN 2 Disc Brake kit or your factory drums opt for the DRUM Drop Spindles. If you want to run the disc brakes you already have, click here.
- 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)
.
- 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 to do that
here, then choose your
disc brake kit
here.
- 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.

FAQ
