GKN Loebro 305530 Drive Shaft CV Joint Kit - Front Right Inner

OE-Style Drive Shaft CV Joint Kit

GKN Loebro 305530 is a standard replacement drive shaft CV joint kit built with premium OE technology from a global driveline specialist. It is engineered for low-angle applications that still need axial plunging movement, helping reduce drivetrain vibration transfer into the cabin.

Compatible with 1999-2003 Volkswagen Golf front right inner applications, this part number 305530 is a direct-fit service solution for the driveline side that sees constant articulation and movement.

Key Features

• Drive shaft CV joint kit for service replacement use
• Tripod joint design for low-angle, plunging motion
• Helps isolate engine movement and vibration from the passenger compartment
• Standard replacement grade for OE-style fit and function
• 30-spline shaft interface
• Tripod joint housing with 72 mm joint diameter and 58 mm length
• TPE boot material with grease included in the assembly specification

Detailed Product Overview

GKN Loebro 305530 is built for driveline applications where the joint must move axially while operating at relatively low angles. The tripod joint design is commonly used on the inboard side of front-wheel-drive drivetrains and in rear- or all-wheel-drive layouts where plunge travel is required. This makes it a practical OE-style service part for restoring smooth driveline operation on a Volkswagen Golf front right inner position.

This part number 305530 cross-references Gates 25307 for the same application. It also aligns with OE-style replacement references including 1J0498103K and VKJA 8013.

What It Helps Address

• Clicking or binding from a worn inner CV joint
• Vibration felt during acceleration or load changes
• Axial movement issues in the drive shaft assembly
• Noise caused by worn tripod joint components
• Driveline harshness in front right inner applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify spline count, joint diameter, and position before installation. This kit is specified for the front right inner location on 1999-2003 Volkswagen Golf applications, so confirm the vehicle year and driveline configuration before ordering. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and inspect the surrounding boot and shaft components for wear before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

GKN Loebro is recognized for OE technology in driveline systems, and this 305530 service kit follows that engineering approach with a standard replacement specification for consistent fit and function.
