Cc, TIGUAN And Golf R Components: Driveshaft: Notes

Perform work on the driveshaft on a twin post hoist if possible.

Mark the position of all the parts to each other before removing them. Install in the same position otherwise the imbalance will be excessive and the bearings could get damaged causing rumbling noises.

Do not kink the driveshaft, only store and move it when fully extended.

Do not allow the driveshaft to "hang down" during removal. Always support it.

Always remove or install the driveshaft horizontally with respect to the drive flange.
