VW live axle
Hey guys so the FSAE car that I've been working on sheared one of it front live axle off. We know the axle is from a VW but not sure which. Does anyone have access to junk (working) parts like this?
We managed to weld the bad one back together but would like to take a spare down to the race in case of additional failure. Please let me know, we leave this weekend! Thanks!

Re: VW live axel
Do you have a part# so we can x-reference the year, make and model? I have a couple of A4 front axles you can have, but I'm in Billings.
I'm asking a dumb question: what is FSAE, and what is your project?

Re: VW live axle
Ill try to dig a little deeper for the part number, etc. but we snagged the axle from a previous year and have very little info on it.
FSAE (formula SAE) http://students.sae.org/competitions/formulaseries/
every year a couple (8) MSU students build a small scale formula car from the ground up for their capstone project. Design and build. We use a 600cc Kawasaki ZX6r engine. Have to head to work now, but will fill in with more details, pictures, etc. later.

Re: VW live axle
Yup Rusty they came out of my A4 last weekend and they are just sitting in my garage - the only problem is that the inner boots are torn, but I bet you guys can deal with that somehow. Other than the torn boots the joints are still solid. Tonight would be fine - I'll be home if your mate wants to grab them.
BTW, I just sent you a TXT about it too.
