Rear Aluminum Hubs AE
Hey guys I was looking in to getting the Aluminum Rear hubs (91548). I see most people using a 3mm shim with them. What lenght Ball Stud do I need 10mm or 12mm? Also changing out the plastic inner ball stud mount to the aluminum one, Do also need longer ball studs for that also?

Aluminum on both ends of the camber link.... Something is going to bend or snap eventually. Some plastic on either side will help absorb impacts a bit more

Is anybody having an issue with the Associated aluminum top shaft? I installed it in my transmission and it seems to "catch" as it goes around. I re-installed the stock top shaft and that works great.

On the aluminum rear brace do you run +2 or -2? And how many spacers?
Also the plastic on comes standard with +2 correct?

Have them. Put them on, too much back and forth play, took them off. What shims are you using? Did not have any shims that fit so I went back to the stock arms. I received my aluminum rear hubs yesterday as well. Does the etching face forward, or backward, or does it even matter since they are 0 degree?
Installation:
When installing the hubs on either the B5 or B5M chassis, the laser etching 0° should face the rear shocks. • RC10B5 rear motor: the etching faces the front of the vehicle, towards the shock
• RC10B5M mid-motor: the etching faces the rear of the vehicle, towards the shock
With the stock hubs, you could run the insert in either the up or down position. Use a 1mm shim under the ball stud for the DOWN POSITION.
Use a 3mm shim under the ball stud for the UP POSITION.
Stock setup: #2 hole with 3mm shims under the stock (#91047) 6mm ball stud.
NOTE:
If using zero shims, you will need to use a shorter ball stud (#91451 or #91452, 4mm ball studs) than what comes stock on your B5 or B5M. Otherwise, the ball stud could crush the inner bearing.
!
NOTE:
Use caution when using thread lock on the rear camber link ball stud. DO NOT get thread lock on the CVA axle or hub bearings.
