Thin fine drive shaft set for VW Golf MK1, Scirocco 1, Jetta, Caddy, etc. for conversion to VR6.
Absolutely necessary when lowering! The shaft is 26mm thick, made of high-strength steel and manufactured in one piece and is a complete drive shaft. Thus also suitable for high-performance engines.

Suitable for the following vehicles for conversion to VR6 with EPYTEC engines mounting brackets:

Golf MK1
Scirocco 1 ( 53B )
Jetta
Caddy

Thanks to our thin and extremely stable transmission / drive shaft, you avoid many problems at the body that usually appear during a chassis lowering.

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

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

Delivery:

1x thin drive shaft set / complete shaft set including axle joint for Golf MK1, Scirocco 1, Jetta, Caddy for conversion to VR6 / left + right

Our drive shafts are registration-free and therefore do not have to be registered.

Please note that our articles have been designed for racing and motorsport. Use in public road traffic usually requires an individual approval in accordance with § 21 StVZO by an officially recognised expert. Further information can be found under TÜV Süd. For the individual approval, we will provide you with an expert opinion or material certificate, if available.

Just 3 stars for now I need to drive the van to check if they work fine

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.
