We no longer carry “rebuilt” axle assemblies (axle, boots, CVs, and clips) because of consistent quality control issues. Oftentimes, all we would get is a pair of used axles back that had been simply taken apart, cleaned, re-greased, and put back together with new CV boots. You can still get a complete axle assembly from GoWesty, but now we only offer all-new axle assemblies from EMPI, made in China.

Like many things that come from China: For the money, they are hard to beat. But they are by no means the best axle assembly money can buy. The CV joints themselves have been pretty darn bullet proof, but we have seen the axles fail and have noticed the boots and grease are not the best, either. The best way to go is to build your own assemblies by re-using your existing, original German VW axle, and a set of the best quality parts and materials available. That is what the GoWesty axle rebuilt kit offers: Everything you need—except the axle itself, because you're using your own for the rebuilding process.

We offer two kits that are functionally the same, except one has German-made CV joints and Rockford boots, and the other has Chinese-made Empi CV joints and boots. As you can imagine, the German bundle delivers the highest level of quality, while the Chinese bundle offers the best value while still delivering quality you can depend on.

Building your own drive axles does not require any special tools, and it is actually kind of fun. But if you are not into getting dirty (it is quite a messy job!), or simply don’t want to mess with it—this is a slam-dunk job for any repair shop. If they will not allow you to bring in your own GoWesty kit for them to install, just point them to our web page so they can be sure to get all the good stuff they need directly from us!
