.i’ve got the stock golf beam.. i’ve looked at the passat one, width seems about right, but i did see that the bushings was different 
but the control-arms should be the same as far as i know?
i’m most likely going to keep the golf beam, as this is better looking and less rusty
okay guys, need some minor help here now
torque values for the rear part of the car
what i need is
Main Beam to chassie
control arms to main beam
diff bracket to body
VC unit to diff – 45nm
diff to main beam
i like using the correct torque when fitting crap back together don’t shoot me bacause of it
thanks but i’ve found out that i’m keeping the golf main beam reason: the passat one is more rusty and ugly :p

but is 45nm still the value for it?
Yes it is []
well.. bushings. its safe to say that they are severly worn
i could push them out with my hands (i’m talking about the main beam bushings, the ones on the control arms had to be burned out)
so. heres some pics of the bushings, or. whats left of them anyways
so. good thing i’m going to change them not that there is too much movement in the rear beam. but new bushings are always good
one thing is for sure, i’m NOT going to use alu bushings i’m going to drive this car a bit too often for that. and i’m getting older by the minute
so. got my new bushings today. or. so i thought, but the brits sent me the wrong ones 
i got the 4 small ones for the front subframe. mailed the seller, and he said to me to keep the ones i’ve got, and he would send the correct ones today thats what i call customer service candrenterprises1 on ebay btw. great ppl to deal with
got the brakelines on the mainbeam fixed today, hopefully they won’t leak
still waiting for my correct bushings. starting to assbmle it when they arrive which should be sometimes next week
finally, bushings arrived today which is great, because i can now mount the rear main beam back onto the car along with the diff.
and then run the brake lines from rear to the front of the car.
only waiting for the control-arm bushings now
