Product Details

This part cross-references Volkswagen 191407272AE and 191407272BA for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noise during turns
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a torn outer boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or wear
• Grinding or clunking from a worn CV joint
• ABS warning light triggered by a damaged sensor ring or related axle-area component

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the axle with the suspension supported; do not let the CV axle hang freely during service. Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specification. Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut. Replace transaxle seals when servicing the axle to help prevent leaks, and inspect the hub, sensor ring, and nearby wiring before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Cardone designs its CV drive axles around known failure causes and verifies shaft straightness to help deliver smooth operation. The axle is new and supplied with an ABS ring, with fitment targeted to Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta front right applications from 1985-1992.
