This video is a complete guide to replace your CV axles on any MKIV VW car. This will work for both Golf and Jetta! I used Raxles for my replacement, but this guide will work for any brand axle.
My method is a little different, rather than remove the ball joint, I separate the spindle from the strut. In my opinion this method is a lot easier, and doesn’t require an alignment when you’re finished! This can seem like a daunting task, but you’ll see it can be quite simple by following my video. It doesn’t even require a ton of advanced tools, so you’ll definitely save money by going the DIY route.
As always, I’m not responsible for any damage caused when replacing the axles. Please let me know if you have any questions, I do my best to answer every comment! Don’t forget to subscribe if you enjoyed this video!

Where do i get axels like those
Decent guide but you dont need to undo the drop link or the suspension, just either pop the lower ball joint or if thats not working out just undo the 3 bolts holing the ball joint to the arm. That will be enough to get the shaft out
Is it possible for the threads on the transfer case where the axle bolts in to be stripped? Is there a way to fix this issue?
how many CM for right shaft golf4???
Great video. I just replaced ny front absorbers, bush, lower arm bush, absorbers bearing and stabilizer bushs. When i took it for a ride the front left drive shart wss vibration very bad. So thr next day, i sent it back. I notices the inner section of the left drive shaft is vibrating badly. So guys, what do guys think?
How much are raxles?
Thanks Steve. I just got all the engine components disassembled earlier today, so all I have to do tomorrow is disconnect my axles, then chain up my cherry picker and I can unbolt the engine mounts and pull it out. I'm so stoke, I've been working on this for a while now
With the passenger side axle you can just remove the axle nut and the flange bolts and actually wiggle the axle out without even talking the wheel off!!! This is a life saver Bc you don’t have to disconnect the ball joint and mess up your front end alignment. Axles are super easy to do on the mk4 platform.
Dude remove the ball joint nuts and leave strut alone
