Detailed Description
This CV axle shaft is built for front left driveline service on select Audi A3, Audi A3 Quattro, Audi S3, Volkswagen Golf R, Volkswagen GTI, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Golf City, and Volkswagen R32 models.

TrakMotive identifies this axle as part of its CV axle shaft product line, with ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified manufacturing processes. The axle uses a neoprene boot and is supplied without an axle nut or ABS tone ring. This part cross-references OE-style numbers 1K0407271EF and 5C0407271CB for the same application.
Common Problems This Part Can Address
- Clicking or popping during turns from a worn front CV joint
- Vibration under acceleration caused by axle wear
- Grease leakage from a damaged CV boot
- Clunking or looseness in the front driveline
- Loss of smooth power transfer to the front left wheel
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle’s year, make, model, and position before ordering, especially on applications with VIN-specific notes such as 2018 Volkswagen Jetta VIN T (5th digit), 2017 Audi A3 VIN 8 (5th digit), and 2008 Volkswagen R32 VIN K (8th digit). Confirm the axle bolt hex size, thread size, and inboard bolt specifications against the original part before installation. Because ABS axles can fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted, confirm whether your vehicle requires an ABS tone ring before service. Professional installation and a final road test are recommended after replacement.
