Thin, shorter drive shaft VA left VW T5 T6 Bus 5-speed shifter16870HPS

  • ✓ Front axle left
  • ✓ VW T5 T6 Bus 5 speed shifter
  • ✓ Registration free

shorter and thinner drive shaft for many VW models with 5-speed gearbox. Absolutely necessary when lowering! The shaft is made of high-strength steel, manufactured in one piece and is a complete drive shaft. Thus also suitable for high-performance engines

Thanks to our thin and extremely stable transmission / drive shaft, you avoid many problems at the body that usually appear during a chassis lowering
Please note that our short and thin drive shaft can be fitted to your vehicle if the distance from the centre of the wheel to the original mudguard edge is 31.5 cm or less. If this distance is greater on your vehicle, the shaft is too short and therefore not suitable for your vehicle

It is important that when installing the new drive shaft, there is no overpressure in the sleeve. In our installation instructions you can see how you can prevent this (click here)

With the installation of our drive shaft, you avoid many modifications and you save time.

  • What exactly is the point of having a shorter driveshaft?
  • As a result of lowering, the axle geometry changes and the shaft presses against the wheel bearing, exposing it to high levels of wear and, in the worst case, destroying it. It is therefore imperative to depressurize the component. This is done by shortening the trees.

  • Do reinforced driveshafts also have reinforced ball joints ?
  • The wheel-side ball joints are also reinforced, but the inner ball joints are like the standard ball joints.

  • Why are two bags of grease included in the delivery?
  • The grease is included in the scope of delivery so that it can be regreased or if the gearbox flange is open at the rear. In this case, grease must still be applied there. If the shaft is supplied completely closed, no grease is required, as this has already been done. 

  • Why are no shims (OE: 1K0407357D) for the mounting supplied as they are original?
  • We do not supply the shims, as we install the latest version of the bellows. With these, the shims are no longer required.
