Frequently asked questions about drive shafts for Volkswagen Transporter T2
How do I know if the drive shaft fits my VW T2?
The most reliable way is to select your vehicle by make, model and engine variant in our search tool. Because the T2 model has different specifications depending on the model year and engine, choosing your exact vehicle details ensures you get the correct splines and length.
What are the most common symptoms of a failing drive shaft on a T2?
The most common signs are clicking noises under load, severe vibrations through the body during acceleration and visible grease leaks from cracked CV boots.
Can I replace just the CV joint instead of the entire drive shaft?
Yes, if the shaft itself is undamaged, you can often replace just the inner or outer CV joint. We supply both complete drive shafts and individual joints for the Volkswagen Transporter T2.
Why does my Transporter T2 vibrate under acceleration?
Vibrations during acceleration are frequently caused by wear in the inner CV joint, which sits closest to the gearbox. As the joint wears, play develops that causes an imbalance under load.
Are fitting accessories included when I buy a drive shaft from you?
Yes, our drive shafts and joint kits are normally supplied with the necessary fitting accessories, such as bolts, circlips and grease, to ensure a proper installation.
How often should I inspect the drive shafts on my classic Volkswagen?
We recommend a visual inspection during every service or at the start of each season. Check particularly that the CV boots are intact and that there is no abnormal play in the joints.
