Product Details

Cardone remanufactures CV drive axles using controlled grinding and inspection processes to preserve the original housing, race, and cage geometry. That matters on a Volkswagen Cabrio, Golf, Jetta, or Passat front-left axle because proper joint movement and grease flow help maintain smooth operation during acceleration and turning. Part number 60-7114 is a practical replacement for worn or damaged CV axle assemblies on 1992-2002 Volkswagen applications listed below.

This part cross-references Volkswagen OE numbers 1H0407271A and 357407271Q for the same application.

Common Problems This Axle Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noise during hard turns and acceleration
• Grease leakage from a torn outer CV boot
• Front-end vibration or thumping under load
• Grinding noise from the driveline area
• Wobble or binding caused by a worn CV joint
