I would say keep the original design and just make adjustments that help to improve the performance of it. Like welding extra corners, maybe adding some weight for better handling/weight distribution.
 
Better to ask, Why do you want to change it? The are a lot of people who drove rally's and or races with polo's and not one of them build themselves an own axle. Just look at the bergrenners like Peter Naumann or Gerhard Moser......

no idea where, but i have seen highly modified rear axles on polo's in the past (pictures on the web)
most of which i think was for
- finding the balance between stifness and weight
- giving the care more options for adjustment
(mostly polo mk1 by the way as i recall)
is it worth the effort? I have no idea.

Look in this topic on volksforum.com.
This guy modded his rear axel om his MK1 Golf.

He also posted the explanation:



Impossible isn't a fact, it's an opinion.

First thanx for reading this.
I´ts been a while sins the last update but better late then never ... :)

Hello
Now, the chassi update has begun.
first we dissmounted all at the rear, beam wishbone etc.

Empty...



It´s always more work..

On this pic, you can see two other taction arms that we was thingking of using but no, we will make a new set with unibolts... :)

time to start up the lathe, had to produce this..


Can anyone see what this is?


When we found the rigth pivot point for the rear beam, I could start with the front end.


Then to the fun parts. :)Rear beam modification.
We will build a trailingarm setup.
Man in action....:)



One done .


Did make a new set of shorter steering arms.
These will give us quicker steering respons.

Damn, that's no one night sleep modification.  -thumbsup-
It's seems to me that the pieces of metal/bolts are brackets for the bushes?

Hi.
Mk1-madness you re so right, the picture shows the center line pivot point bracket for the rear beam.
IRS on a Polo 86c is far beyond the normal mods.
The front and rear beam are now done and mounted.
Fully adjustable in front and rear.
Today we will start with the front hub angle.We want the wheel to dive in more when we turn the steering wheel.
IRS is a far bit "overkill" but i like the idea of having a Advanced rear beam.
i also  want to have control over the toe-travel, have the possibilities to adjust camber , caster and toe.

So far the setup has changed the wheelbase with ~50mm in length and the track width by 60mm.
Caster in front 3deg. so we will see what we end up with but it will definite mean that we have a better situation then before.

pics coming up.

stay tuned.... :)

Hi
Now comes the pictures.
After a whole lot of work during the Christmas and New Year eve, now the car is down on its own wheels again.
First a picture of the modified section of the section toward the torpedowall to handle the increased load.

Then comes a picture of the rear axle mount in the middle.

Wishbones have been modified.
The spring plate is moved up 20mm, a stabilizer bracket is welded and steering arm has a new position. The angle of the hub modified to provide more angle in the hub that little sloppy expressed as more camber angle and better precipitation of the wheel when steering.


Finally a picture of what the front end looks now :)
