TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft Product Line Details

The outboard joint is conventional with 22 splines, providing reliable torque transfer. The overall compressed length of 25.47 inches (647 mm) fits the specified vehicle applications precisely.
Applications and Problem Solving

Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure compatibility with your specific Audi or Volkswagen model before installation. The bolt-on inboard joint requires proper torque on all six bolts to maintain secure connection. Use the included self-locking axle nut and verify thread engagement (M20*1.5) during assembly. Inspect the neoprene boot for any damage before installation to prevent premature failure. Professional installation is recommended to maintain driveline integrity.
