What Is OGbuilt?
Original German Guts. Raw Steel Skin.
Every OGbuilt beam starts as an ECObuilt platform — a new-construction beam with 7.5" adjusters and Delrin bushings, built perfectly. The difference is the finish: OGbuilt ships in raw steel, unsanded and not deburred. We skip the cosmetic hours and hand the savings to you.
Inside, every component is Original German Volkswagen, quality controlled and audited. If a part is questionable anywhere that matters, it doesn't go in the beam. The dings and dents from years of honest service stay — they're cosmetic only.
The geometry is right. The engagement is right. It just hasn't been to the spa.

Every Pin, Carrier & Bushing — Tested, Not Assumed
- ✓ Spindles — assembled with OEM king pins and NEW US-made king pin bushings, installed and reamed to fit the OEM pins.
- ✓ Carriers — quality-controlled OEM carriers, checked for straightness — never twisted or bent. We don't smooth away years of use; we make sure they work.
- ✓ King pins — checked for wear, polished on the lathe, and reused only if they pass a series of tests.
- ✓ Link pins — OEM German link pins reused only when they show zero wear. Quality controlled and audited to make sure.
- ✓ Shims & bushings — all new, for quality engagement.
- ✓ Torsion leaves — OEM German, cleaned and re-dimpled for perfect engagement.
- ✓ Trailing arms — OEM German arms that pass every QC test. Old bearing grooves don't matter: the Delrin bushings index the entire arm, not just where the OEM bearings used to ride. New life for old arms.
- ✓ Shocks — the same shocks we use on ECObuilt and PRObuilt assemblies.
- ✓ Hardware — all new. Grease zerks installed, torqued correctly, and greased.

Optional · Select in the Drop-Down
Add the OGbuilt Steering System
The beam ships without steering components. Add the complete OGbuilt Steering System in the drop-down above:
- ✓ Premium tie rod ends & steering damper — same as ECObuilt and PRObuilt beams
- ✓ QC'd OEM steering box bracket & pitman arm — surface pitting from years of use stays; it's cosmetic
- ✓ OGbuilt Steering Box — original audited components, new bearings, seals & gaskets, set up with ZERO play
- ✓ Complete tie rod assemblies — included
The Trade-Off, Straight Up
Flat spots may be present inside an OGbuilt box — but play will be non-existent. ECObuilt and PRObuilt give you perfect feel with no play; OGbuilt gives you a textured feel with no play. Better than a TRW or Chinese box. Not as good as ECObuilt or PRObuilt. We'd rather tell you than have you find out.
Shipping
Freight. Wrapped. Ready.
Ships freight, fully assembled, torqued, and greased. No boxed cover — the assembly is stretch-wrapped to keep dirt and debris out in transit. It arrives ready to bolt under the car.
FAQ
The Questions We Expect
Is this a "seconds" or reject-parts beam?
No. Every component passes the same QC tests and audit as ECObuilt and PRObuilt. The only difference is cosmetic — raw steel, old dings, honest character.
Are the king pin bushings used?
No — brand new, US-made, installed and reamed to fit the OEM German king pins. Pins are lathe-polished and reused only if they pass a series of wear tests.
Can I paint or powdercoat the beam myself?
Yes — that's the point. It arrives built perfectly in raw steel, unsanded and not deburred. Finish it your way, or run it raw.
Does it include steering?
No — add the complete OGbuilt Steering System in the drop-down.
How does it ship?
Freight, stretch-wrapped, no boxed cover — assembled, torqued, and greased.
What's your warranty?
If any component ever fails from a manufacturing defect, we replace it. Period. Email help@airkewld.com with a photo and your order number.
