It is important that when installing the new drive shaft, no excess pressure in the sleeve. In our installation instructions you can see how to prevent this (click here).
Installing the thinner drive shaft saves you having to rework the body. This saves you time and nerves.
Advantages of the shafts:
- fits plug and play
- solid shaft made of special high strength material
- easy assembly

- no registration necessary, drive shafts are registration free

- What exactly is the benefit of a shorter drive shaft?
Lowering changes the axle geometry and the shaft presses on the wheel bearing, exposing it to high wear and possibly destroying it in the worst case. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to relieve the pressure from the component. This is done by shortening the shafts.
- Do the reinforced drive shafts also have reinforced joints?
On the wheel side, the joints are also reinforced, but the inner joints are like the standard joints.
- Why are two bags of grease included in the package?
The grease is included so that additional greasing can be done, or if the gearbox flange is open at the back. In this case, greasing must still be done there. If the shaft is delivered completely closed, greasing is not necessary as it has already been done.
- Why are no backing plates (OE: 1K0407357D) included for mounting as they are originally available?
We do not supply the base plates, as we install the latest version of the bellows. With these, the base plates are no longer needed.
