J.C. Whitney RV28160061 Front CV Axle Assembly Right Side 2002-2004 VW Beetle 1.8L 6-Speed Manual

The J.C. Whitney RV28160061 is an OEM replacement front CV (constant velocity) axle assembly designed for the right-hand (passenger) side of 2002–2004 Volkswagen Beetle models equipped with a 1.8L engine and 6-speed manual transmission.

This axle assembly is engineered to restore proper drivetrain function by replacing a worn or damaged factory axle shaft. CV axle assemblies are critical components that transfer power from the transmission to the front wheels while accommodating the up-and-down movement of the suspension and the side-to-side movement of the steering.

Key Features:

• Direct OEM replacement — designed to match original factory specifications
• Right-hand (passenger side) front axle application
• Compatible with 6-speed manual transmission
• Engineered for the 1.8L engine variant of the 2002–2004 VW Beetle
• Includes CV joints pre-packed with grease and fitted with protective boots
• Bolt-on installation for straightforward replacement

Installing a quality replacement CV axle eliminates symptoms such as clicking or popping noises during turns, vibration at highway speeds, and grease leaks caused by torn CV boots. This assembly is built to meet or exceed OEM standards for durability and performance.
