Finding rare, “New Old Stock” components for your chassis is a massive victory for any restoration enthusiast. At West Coast Roccos, we are excited to offer this genuine Rear Beam (171500051) in pristine NOS condition. Because this part has never been installed on a vehicle, it provides the structural integrity and factory-correct finish that your Mk1 project requires.

The Foundation of Your Suspension

The rear axle beam serves as the backbone of your Volkswagen’s rear suspension system. Over decades, original beams often suffer from deep corrosion, curb damage, or warping from accidents. Consequently, an old or damaged beam can cause poor wheel alignment and unpredictable handling. Therefore, replacing your tired hardware with this never-used beam is the best way to “make it right” for your classic build.

This NOS Rear Axle Beam offers:

Zero Fatigue: Unlike used parts, this beam has never endured the mechanical stress of road use.
Factory Dimensions: You can trust that the torsion beam geometry is 100% accurate to the original Volkswagen specifications.
Clean Surfaces: The mounting points for your stub axles and bushings are free from the pitting and rust common on salvaged parts.
Preserved Authenticity: This is a genuine Volkswagen part, making it ideal for high-performance builds.

MK1 Mk2 Rear Beam Installation and Upgrade Opportunities

Installing a fresh rear axle beam is a major milestone in any restoration. First, we recommend prepping the beam with a high-quality chassis paint to protect the vintage metal for decades to come. Then, you can begin the assembly process by installing your trailing arm bushings.

Because you are starting with a clean slate, this is the perfect time to upgrade your hardware. Specifically, we suggest pairing this beam with high-performance components found in our Mk1 product category. Furthermore, you should inspect your stub axles and brake lines while the assembly is off the car. Ultimately, this ensures that your entire rear end performs as well as it did when it first left the factory.
