Detailed Description

GKN Loebro 304748 is a CV axle shaft engineered to OE-level dimensional and functional standards for front left installation. It uses a plunging inboard joint and fixed ball outboard joint to support smooth suspension movement while maintaining driveline engagement. This makes it a strong match for long-tail search needs such as front left CV axle shaft for 2006-2010 Volkswagen Jetta, front left axle shaft for 2010 Volkswagen GTI, or Audi A3 front left CV axle replacement.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. The GKN Loebro 304748 is also listed across multiple OE-style interchange references and is suited to vehicles where exact spline count, joint type, and compressed length are critical.
