Product Details

This TrakMotive CV axle shaft is engineered for Volkswagen EuroVan front axle service and is listed for both manual and automatic transmission applications where noted. The axle includes a toothed ABS ring with 48 teeth and an included tone ring, supporting ABS-equipped vehicles.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left or front right placement before ordering, since this axle is listed for both positions on select Volkswagen EuroVan models. Confirm ABS-equipped application details, transmission type, axle bolt thread size, and spline count against the original part before installation. Inspect mating surfaces, fasteners, and hub components for wear or damage, and follow factory torque specifications during assembly.
