This is an animation video tutorial on the topic swing half axle suspension. Please learn it by watching the entire video and drop your comments.
In a swing half axle suspension, as you can see in the video the wheels are mounted rigidly on the half axles in blue. These half axles are independent to move and are connected to chassis or differential.
Advantages of swing half axle suspension:
Wheels can respond independently to disturbances, as disturbance on one side cannot be transferred to the opposite wheel due to this arrangement.
Disadvantages of swing half axle suspensions
1. When cornering force becomes excessive it produces an upward resultant. This upward resultant lifts the rear of the vehicle.
2. When the vehicle takes a turn, body turns towards outside the turn and camber thrust towards inside the turn.

Finally a real mechanic that knows the correct way to set rear suspension height on your Beetle or Dune Buggy that's not trying to sell you something. from Milo Manx ***** I FORGOT! **** When you drive a swing axle or I.R.S. vehicle for about a mile, it settles even lower. Pushing it back and forth three times doesn't do the trick. It helps but, not enough. *** The swing arm angles are now 13.7 degrees on the left and 14.0 degrees on the right. It sits just 1/8" higher on the right side, that's fine. The rear wheel camber is just a little on the positive side, where it should be.
17 degrees is where the factory set early Beetles when new. Adjustment procedure is the same for I.R.S.
Also, You can move the swing arm just on the outer spline for major degree changes. Then, minor degree changes, like in video, after that. Get that digital angle finder or protractor and do it right the first time!

This video demonstrates the proper way to lower an air-cooled VW and shows how easy it can be to get your ride to drive smoothly even though the vehicle is lowered. You can do it the right way! It is part 1 in a 4-part series. The vehicle in focus is a swing-axle Volkswagen that has the short torsion bars, but soon the racing spring-plates (DropPlates and RaisePlates) will be available for all air-cooled models.
My good customer Sean from Hawaii says that his ride is the best it has ever been. You can find this vehicle and my name mentioned in the center-spread of this the latest issue (March 2012) of Hot VWs. If you want to know what other people think about Atomwerk Drop Plates then pick up an issue and open it to the middle!

Here is a video documenting my VW swingaxle to IRS conversion using a VW Bus 3 rib transmission. I used the jig which made it much easier. Porsche 930 stub axles so I could run bus CVs instead of bus CV to bug CV. This also gives me a few more degrees of suspension travel. Transmission mounts were hand made. I am using standard car axles and used a bench grinder to grind down the inner sides to the splines(about an inch). My swingaxle swing plates were cut and the slots were punched. This saves be having to buy IRS spring plates and torsion bars. After welding everything up I am 1/16" an inch off when measuring diagonally to each trailing arm. Not too bad.
Also note, on the IRS pivot brackets I spaced the washers apart (not together) so that I could have some adjust-ability if my toe in/out was off. Message me if you have any questions, thanks!

A swing axle is a simple type of independent suspension first used in early aircraft (1910 or before), such as the Sopwith and Fokker, usually with rubber bungee and no damping.
Some later automobile rear swing axles have universal joints connecting the driveshafts to the differential, which is attached to the chassis. They do not have universal joints at the wheels: the wheels are always perpendicular to the driveshafts. Swing axle suspensions traditionally used leaf springs and shock absorbers. Volkswagens built before 1967 used torsion bars as their spring.
This type of suspension was considered better than the more typical live axle for two reasons:
There are several shortcomings with this arrangement:
These problems were evident on the Mercedes-Benz 190SL and 300SL, Porsche 356, Triumph Herald, Vitesse and Spitfire, Tatra T603, Renault Dauphine, Volkswagen Beetle (until rear suspension modifications, c. 1967) and others.
A number of engineering options could ameliorate swing axle handling, with limited results:

VW Bug Swingaxle to IRS Conversion with Bus 3 rib Transmission Sandrail Buggy Jig
Here is a video documenting my VW swingaxle to IRS conversion using a VW Bus 3 rib transmission. I used the jig which made it much easier. Porsche 930 stub axles so I could run bus CVs instead of bus CV to bug CV. This also gives me a few more degrees of suspension travel. Transmission mounts were hand made. I am using standard car axles and used a bench grinder to grind down the inner sides to the splines(about an inch). My swingaxle swing plates were cut and the slots were punched. This saves be having to buy IRS spring plates and torsion bars. After welding everything up I am 1/16" an inch off when measuring diagonally to each trailing arm. Not too bad. Also note, on the IRS pivot brackets I spaced the washers apart (not together) so that I could have some adjust-ability if my toe in... -
VW : Installing swing axle one piece, seamless rubber boots
*French version here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAQbUI_rbXA* How to install seamless rubber boots on swing axles, as explained in the original VW Workshop Manual. Make sure you let the boot heat long enough (in water or oil) to make it softer : I use my ultra-sound cleaning bath, which heats water up to 80°C (176°F). More videos of this process can be found in my playlist : http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLY_6EMjvRYeEqZsE-S9GOE3zx38KpK8xJ -

Racing Adjustable Plates for your VW. Both swing axle and IRS.
This video showcases a set of fully adjustable Racing Drop Plates. These plates are the best that money can buy! Essentially they are the Deluxe Assembled Sets with a Hub Adjuster added to it. This means that you will have the full performance and strength of Racing Drop/Raise Plates and the rapid articulation that the needle bearings offer. However the true advantage comes from the ability to rapidly adjust these on the fly with just the turning of a screw and locking of a nut. With these plates your ride will be great! You will no longer be limited to one ride height alone.

Geno changing a IRS to swing axle, and wishing everybody a Merry Christmas for 2012 or 2013, the or whichever please do not drink and drive and have a good new years and a good Christmas okay, this IRS was switched over to a swing axle what you have to do is have a carrier that will support 88 bolt ring gear and two side covers bearings for the carrier in shims and pinion depth shims to also. Checked the depth and set up the preload first and set your backlash and then run a pattern and see if the pinion depth is okay if not move your opinion in in or out which ever it desires by changing the pinion ship. It's a lot of fun. Believe me, you have to love it. Like I do, to keep on doing Geno's air cooled and competition have a good holiday be safe -

This is an animation video tutorial on the topic swing half axle suspension. Please learn it by watching the entire video and drop your comments.
In a swing half axle suspension, as you can see in the video the wheels are mounted rigidly on the half axles in blue. These half axles are independent to move and are connected to chassis or differential.
Advantages of swing half axle suspension:
Wheels can respond independently to disturbances, as disturbance on one side cannot be transferred to the opposite wheel due to this arrangement.
Disadvantages of swing half axle suspensions
1. When cornering force becomes excessive it produces an upward resultant. This upward resultant lifts the rear of the vehicle.
2. When the vehicle takes a turn, body turns towards outside the turn and camber thrust towards inside the turn.

Finally a real mechanic that knows the correct way to set rear suspension height on your Beetle or Dune Buggy that's not trying to sell you something. from Milo Manx ***** I FORGOT! **** When you drive a swing axle or I.R.S. vehicle for about a mile, it settles even lower. Pushing it back and forth three times doesn't do the trick. It helps but, not enough. *** The swing arm angles are now 13.7 degrees on the left and 14.0 degrees on the right. It sits just 1/8" higher on the right side, that's fine. The rear wheel camber is just a little on the positive side, where it should be.
17 degrees is where the factory set early Beetles when new. Adjustment procedure is the same for I.R.S.
Also, You can move the swing arm just on the outer spline for major degree changes. Then, minor degree changes, like in video, after that. Get that digital angle finder or protractor and do it right the first time!

Here is a video documenting my VW swingaxle to IRS conversion using a VW Bus 3 rib transmission. I used the jig which made it much easier. Porsche 930 stub axles so I could run bus CVs instead of bus CV to bug CV. This also gives me a few more degrees of suspension travel. Transmission mounts were hand made. I am using standard car axles and used a bench grinder to grind down the inner sides to the splines(about an inch). My swingaxle swing plates were cut and the slots were punched. This saves be having to buy IRS spring plates and torsion bars. After welding everything up I am 1/16" an inch off when measuring diagonally to each trailing arm. Not too bad.
Also note, on the IRS pivot brackets I spaced the washers apart (not together) so that I could have some adjust-ability if my toe in/out was off. Message me if you have any questions, thanks!

This video showcases a set of fully adjustable Racing Drop Plates. These plates are the best that money can buy! Essentially they are the Deluxe Assembled Sets with a Hub Adjuster added to it. This means that you will have the full performance and strength of Racing Drop/Raise Plates and the rapid articulation that the needle bearings offer. However the true advantage comes from the ability to rapidly adjust these on the fly with just the turning of a screw and locking of a nut. With these plates your ride will be great! You will no longer be limited to one ride height alone.
