In 1999, the only way to get the perfect stance, wheels, and brake fitment on your ride was by cutting up the factory beam. It was a tedious, complex process to narrow your track and install adjusters—one that left many enthusiasts searching for a better solution.
After countless attempts to work with fabricators, we decided to take matters into our own hands and design the perfect beam from scratch. Every detail was carefully planned, and we made sure it included everything you
need and nothing you don't.

As good as your Beam looks on camera, I was even more blown away by
seeing the real thing in my shop. The powder coating was immaculate. The
assembly was meticulous, and though I had thought of doing the assembly
myself, I was so happy I didn't. For the price, this thing just looks
like it will perform, and I'm excited to install it and to have it under
me. What a great product, Pete! You guys overperformed on this Ball
Joint Beam. Thanks! Best money I've spent on this project.

PRObuilt Beam
This was one of the purchases for my Ghia that was a had to have. I
expected quality but WOW this Beam has exceeded expectation. Definitely
motivation to get everything else done. Welds, powder coat, parts and
pieces all top notch. I'll be ordering another for my dads beetle.

PRObuilt Beam
I have been a customer of Airkewld for the past four years. I have
nothing really to say because the excellent quality of Pete's products
already speak for themselves. I'm sure other customers can attest to my
review. If other people are debating on purchasing from Airkewld...do
it! I guarantee you won't regret it. Pete also provides excellent
customer service to match the level of his products.

Q: Do I need to modify my vehicle’s body to install the PRObuilt Beam?
A: No body modifications are required! The PRObuilt Beam is designed to fit directly into your existing setup. The inside dimension is 29 13/16", giving you just 1/16" of clearance on each side—so it's a clean, easy install without any cutting or welding. It's truly a bolt-in solution, saving you time and hassle.
Q: How is the beam narrowed by 4 inches when there’s only 1/2 inch on each side of my stock beam?
A: Great question! To achieve the 4-inch narrowing, we strategically use the outer ends of the tubes and gusset outward, which gives us the additional space needed. This technique maintains structural integrity while providing the track width and versatility you need. For a deeper understanding, check out our explainer video here where we walk you through the process.
Q: What kind of time is typical for installation?
A: Roughly 4 hours if you have general VW knowledge and follow our very detailed installation guide.
Q: Do I need to send in a core?
A: No. The PRO's have a few options for your cores. Check them out here.
Q: Will I need anything in addition to this assembly?
A: No. It's as complete as it comes from the factory.
