Front Driver Side CV Axle Shaft Assembly
Precision Drivetrain Performance for Volkswagen Manual Transmission Models
Restore the smooth, vibration-free power delivery of your Volkswagen with this premium Front Driver Side (LH) CV Axle Assembly. Engineered to meet the demanding torque requirements of manual transmission vehicles, this axle is a direct-fit replacement for worn constant velocity joints. If your vehicle is experiencing clicking during sharp turns, shuddering under acceleration, or has a torn grease boot, this 100% new assembly provides the structural integrity and lubrication necessary to protect your drivetrain and wheel bearings.
Each axle is manufactured to standard replacement specifications, featuring Neoprene boots for superior ozone and weather resistance. The internal joints are pre-packed with high-performance molybdenum grease to reduce friction and heat, ensuring a long service life even under heavy driving conditions.

Installation and Technical Tips
Triple-Square Fasteners: The inboard "Pancake" joint attaches to the transmission output flange using specialized M8 or M10 Triple-Square (XZN) bolts. Ensure these are cleaned of grease and debris before attempting to loosen them to prevent stripping the bolt heads.
One-Time Use Hardware: The included 30mm axle nut is a stretch-bolt design. It must be torqued to factory specifications—typically a high initial torque followed by a specific degree turn—to properly seat the wheel bearing. Never reuse an old axle nut.
Seal Inspection: While the axle is out, inspect the transmission output flange seal. If there is evidence of gear oil weeping, replacing the seal now will prevent a future teardown.
Torque Under Load: For the best results, perform the final torque on the axle nut while the vehicle is on the ground or the brakes are firmly applied to prevent the axle from spinning.
