    In order to properly preload the front wheel bearings, the center axle bolts are torqued really high. Running the car without the front axles will ruin the front wheel baring and you also loose ABS, since the Sensor picks up Signal of a Ring on the front axles.
    You have to disassemble the front axle and take the outer CV joint off and put it back on the car to solve these issues! 😉
    Please hit thumbs up, so Gingium can read this!
    Cool build, cheers from Germany

    Idk if it's been stated beforehand or not, might save you a headache down the road. The bolts that fasten the front CV axles to the transmission, as well as the rear CV axles into the rear differential, are not a torx or hex head bolt. They're a "triple square" bolt.

    My first comment to you so hope you read it lol.
    From past experience converting the audi quattro to rwd, you should also disassemble the front exterior drive shafts and then re-install it in the wheel bearing / center hub, otherwise the front wheel bearings will split into two parts and you will drop the wheels fairly quickly which will be very messy result .
    Good luck with the build!

    Please keep those 5 spoke borbet wheels on the teal one. They are awesome, super strong wheels. and as others have said, you HAVE to run the empty outer CV stubs up front for the wheel bearings to stay together. DO NOT EVEN ROLL IT WITHOUT THEM THEY WILL FALL APART AND THE HUB WILL FALL OUT. also when you're welding spider gears, weld them to the housing as well as to each other. Much stronger that way.

    Btw early Quattro car had a lockable center diff which you could lock with a button next to the e-brake/handbrake. Fits into modern Quattros too and makes this reversable as the rear diff was also locked automatically when the car detected slip. With good power this set up is pretty well driftable.

To de-grease use mineral spirits in the pressure sprayer. Walmart has them for $10 in the gardening department by the weed sprayers.
