I was wondering if anyone has the exact measurements for the front hub machining. I still have to purchase the caliper type spindals. should I buy NOS or mexican? Should I use the VW wheel bearings?

I'm having troubles fitting the trailing arm to the torsion arm too. Is there an after market torsion arm that will fit the 86 and newer trailing arm bolt pattern.
