Detailed Description

Compatible with 2000-2001 Audi A6 Quattro, rear, this drive shaft is engineered as an OE FIX replacement for the original unit. The design replaces permanently staked U-joints with serviceable joints, which makes future maintenance more practical without changing the basic driveline application.

This part cross-references Audi part numbers 4B0521106A and 4B0521106D for the same application.

Common Uses

  • Replacing a worn or damaged rear drive shaft
  • Restoring driveline rotation after U-joint wear
  • Addressing vibration or noise related to shaft wear
  • Servicing a driveline that originally used non-serviceable U-joints

Installation Notes

Verify compressed length, flange-to-flange length, and end type before installation. Confirm the rear application and compare the original shaft dimensions to the specifications listed for part number 966-515. Pre-greased components reduce prep time, but final installation should still follow the vehicle service procedure.

Quality Assurance

Dorman OE FIX parts are engineered to improve serviceability over the original design while maintaining replacement fit for the listed application.
