Absolutely beautiful piece of artwork my 66 has been sitting for about five years and I wish I could afford to have one of these friends put on. I want to drive it again. It’s got really really old school technology and a hack job on lowering it maybe someday, love your channel very informative and through my progression of healing from pancreatic cancer. I love watching anything VW specially your channel kudos to you guys.
This is great. Thank you for the details, including the "initial" alignment steps to get it close. I have a stage 2 beam which I am putting leafs back in, and this was exactly what I needed as a reference.
I have only watched a handful of Airkewld videos to this point, this one was excellent! Five STARS. Just happens to be right where I'm at in my Thing project, so very applicable and informative. Thanks!
Life long VW nut here. I'm finally building my '69 Beetle the way that I've wanted it to be since 3 decades ago. I am absolutely buying one of your beams! You'll hear from me soon!! Thanks for what you are doing for our industry.
Neat video for what looks to be quality parts. As a small FYI - when you run the jamb nut on, screw the tie rod end in, and then put the anti seize on the male threads - the first couple threads on the tie rod end stay dry, along with the innermost threads in the sleeve and the jamb nut threads. If you put a little anti seize on the tie rod threads before running the jamb nut on, and in the sleeve on the female threads before threading the tie rod end in - it coats all the tie rod end threads, the innermost sleeve threads, and the jamb nut threads. While this may not be an issue on some builds, coming from a rust state, I've learned to try to lube and protect threaded parts as well as possible.
Thanks Brian! We have a couple different versions for the Baja. Stock everything and a 3.5" lifted version. Let me know if we can get the chance to WoW you!
That sticker at the end says it all and makes it all worthwhile. The channel is growing. About to blow up soon. These vids are awesome and incredibly well done.
Bought your 4" narrowed beam and starting to install it. This has been a tremendous help as this is my first time attempting. Thank you for video demo. Stay safe.
Please make this and disc brakes for Bay window Bus. We've used your front end and front/rear brakes on our Beetle and love it ! Restoring a Bay Window right now and realized you don't have anything for 68-70 Bus.
Hey 👋🏻 Nick, thanks for the comment. We are currently out of brakes at the moment but hope to have them in the next couple of months. The beam can be found here www.airkewld.com/Stage-1-PRObuilt-Adjustable-Beam-Complete-2201-p/2201.htm Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for watching. Hope you are subscribed 😜
HI gents, watched the video, very nice! I have a VW Type 3 1972, I'm trying to finish the renovation, and starting to look for a Better than stock Suspension package, front and rear. what is a Rough estimate of the cost for the vehicle. Thanks for the inspiration.

I’m finally going about putting my beam back into the car and almost forgetting where I’m at, this has been massively helpful! What is the thread size on the grease fittings in the beam? Mine weren’t blocked off when going for powder coating and just want to cut the powder back out!
Fantastic video. First of your videos I’ve watched and now subscribed! I have a standard 76 beetle front end with tyre hitting upper left torsion arm at right full lock (1 1/4 turns). Clearance in the left lock (1 1/2 turns) is ok. I was checking the arms on your video thinking the wrong arms are on mine but all looks ok. …any clues please? Coming to you from Australia.
Split the revolutions of your steering wheel in half. Then align the car with out moving the steering wheel so you have 1 3/8 on each side. Then remount the steering wheel so it is straight. Then you will have the same amount to turns left to right and right to left. If you still touch, then the offset of the wheels is too great for the vehicle and a space might be needed should you still want to run the same wheels.
Let’s say I have a 1970 beetle sedan, and I wanted a new front end like this with disc brakes for stock ride height. Can you give me an estimate on cost?

This has been on my wish list for awhile, maybe I’ll win it for my ‘71 Bug. I’ll get one this year either way. Airkewld rocks!
I lost myself in time watching you. I just wanna learn how this front air vw suspension / steering works. Thank you!
Love the new beam. Great video.
Hell yes, I want one! That will look amazing with your Bad Brakes kit that was just delivered yesterday.
We can make it happen Julius!
Yeah…👍🏻. I’d like one.
What year and model my friend?
1967 VW Bug. What is your tube thickness for the cross tubes? I hope their thickness is a little better than stock.

Sorry Larry, we decided against doing products specific to the Bay.
Like your video how did you square square up the tie rods I didn't see that video part of it thanks
Thanks for the comment Ronnie, I used a carpenters square across the face of the spindle and referenced the 90 degree angle to the tubes of the beam.
Another great video Pete, I'm saving up for my own.
Thanks for the info!
You guys rock. Would love this front end in my 66 Bug !
WOW beautiful

Hola desde Panamá 🇵🇦🇵🇦
You beetle guys in the US are so lucky. Here in sSouth Africa we have to deal with reconditioned backyard jobs and they all use crap parts.
Here in south Africa the currency of the rand dollar is killing us we can't afford it

Recondition one yourself with quality parts. Thats what i´m doing.... from Brazil.
do you build for righthand drive?
Absolutely.
