Detailed Description
This GKN Loebro 301209 CV axle assembly is built for direct replacement on the front right side where the original axle length and spline count must match the vehicle specification. The 506 mm shaft length and 33-spline outer joint help ensure proper engagement in the driveline on Audi A4, Audi A4 Quattro, and Volkswagen Passat applications. GKN Automotive supplies driveline solutions to a large share of global vehicle manufacturers, and this axle reflects that OE-focused engineering approach.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Resolve
- Clicking or popping noises during turns from a worn CV joint
- Vibration felt through the drivetrain under acceleration
- Grease leakage from a damaged axle boot or joint area
- Axle play caused by wear in the shaft or joints
- Loss of smooth power transfer to the front right wheel
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle’s VIN, axle length, and spline count before ordering. This axle is listed for front right fitment only, so confirm side and model details against the original part. Compare the existing axle to the 506 mm specification and check the outer joint spline count during inspection to avoid mismatch.
