Volkswagen LT 40.55

The easiest and most reliable method is to select your vehicle by make, model and engine variant in our search tool. Because there are 66 different prop shaft variants for this model, depending on wheelbase and engine, filtering by your exact vehicle details is essential to ensure the correct length and flange.

The most common symptoms are a grinding or whining noise coming from the underside of the vehicle, alongside vibrations felt through the chassis while driving. If the sound alters with vehicle speed, it is often a sign of a worn centre bearing.

In many cases, it is entirely possible to replace only the centre bearing if the universal joints and general balance of the prop shaft are still in good order. We offer 6 different centre bearings specifically for the LT 40 55 to allow for this type of repair.

Yes, we always provide a fitment guarantee when you choose parts tailored to your specific vehicle model and engine. This ensures complete peace of mind, knowing that the 72 parts we stock in our system are correctly matched to your van.

We always aim for fast dispatch on stocked items. We understand that commercial vehicles like the LT 40 55 are often used for work, making swift delivery vital to minimise downtime.

Vibrations under acceleration in a rear-wheel-drive vehicle like the LT 40 55 are typically caused by an unbalanced propeller shaft, worn universal joints, or a defective centre bearing that can no longer keep the shaft properly centred under load.
