Detailed Description

GKN Loebro 305070 is a replacement CV axle shaft for front left driveline service on select Audi A4, Audi S4, and Audi RS4 models. The axle is built around OE-style engineering and application-matched details, including a 38-spline outboard end, a 6-hole inboard joint mount, and a 45-tooth ABS tone ring. Those specifications help ensure the shaft matches the vehicle’s original driveline and wheel speed sensing requirements.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. The part number 305070 is also useful when verifying the correct axle shaft for Audi front left replacement work.

What This Part Helps Address

• Clicking or popping during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration under acceleration from a damaged axle shaft
• Grease leakage from a failed CV boot or joint assembly
• ABS warning concerns related to incorrect tone ring specification
• Driveline noise caused by excessive axle wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm front left position, spline count, axle nut thread size, and ABS tone ring tooth count before installation. Verify the vehicle’s original axle length and joint style against the listed specifications for Audi A4, Audi S4, and Audi RS4 applications. Always inspect related hub, bearing, and suspension components during axle replacement to avoid repeat driveline noise.

Quality Assurance
