Well to say the least, I now can install the driver “left” side axle in about 30 minutes… I went through 3 axles from AutoZone. I finally said enough is enough. Put the old one back on, and am saving 280 for a quality one from raxles. Thanks for all of the help. Lesson here, you have to buy quality axles for any VW MK3. Otherwise… well your floor boards might rattle out.
[quote=”Jotmon1″ post=43732]Jack up the car and take off the front wheel then run the car while observing the axle. The emergency brake should be applied (to the rear wheels) and the car up on solid supports. You should be able to do one side at a time. Be very careful not to get caught up in the works. Once you identify the side that is at fault you should be able to see the source of the vibration.[/quote]
Worked like a charm. Thanks a lot for the advice. Thank God it was the drivers side… Now all there is to do is wait for my sister to give me a ride to AutoZone.[quote=”Jotmon1″ post=43732]Jack up the car and take off the front wheel then run the car while observing the axle.
