EMPI Axle Nut for VW

EMPI axle nuts are replacement axle nuts (also called rear axle nuts or spindle nuts) for air-cooled Volkswagen applications. The axle nut holds the wheel bearing and axle assembly in place, so a good one matters for restoration, maintenance and off-road builds.

Key Features:

• Replacement axle nuts for air-cooled VW drivetrains
• Made to secure the axle shaft and wheel bearing assembly
• Suited to restoration, daily-driver upkeep, and VW-based dune buggy and sand rail projects
• From EMPI, a long-established supplier of aftermarket parts for air-cooled Volkswagens

Replace worn or damaged axle nuts when you service the rear axle, bearings or brakes. Tighten them to the torque specification in your VW service manual. Browse the available options on this page to find the right axle nut for your build.
