MK4 VW CV Axle Removal and Installation
This Steve's Garage video is a complete guide to replace your CV axles on any MKIV VW car. This will work for MK4 Golfs, Jettas, and Beetles. The car I'm working on is a 1.8t 5spd, so the sizes of the hardware may be a bit different if you're working on a different engine and transmission. I believe that axles used on the VR6 cars are larger, and axles on the TDI and 2.0 are smaller. Please double check the size of your hardware before diving into replacing cv axles on your MK4 VW. I used Raxles for my replacement CV axles, but this guide will work for any brand axle. That being said, if you are lowered, or tired of blowing axles on your MK4 Golf, Jetta, or Beetle, I highly recommend Raxles CV axles. They're great quality and come with a lifetime warranty!

My method for removing and installing CV axles is a little different than some other guides you see for mk4 VWs. 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! If you live in a snow state, you're also more likely to be able to separate the spindle from the strut without damage, unlike the ball joint. In my experience the ball joints have to be cut off because they're seized.
Replacing CV axles on a MK4 VW 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!
