What causes stub shaft spline wear on the 02Z gearbox?

Spline wear is typically caused by wear between the stub shaft and the CV joint inner race, often accelerated by lack of lubrication or impact damage. Once the splines strip, drive to the wheel is lost immediately.

Is this the offside or nearside stub shaft?

This is the offside (right-hand, driver's side in UK) stub shaft only. If you require the nearside (left-hand) stub shaft, please contact us.

What OEM numbers does this replace?

This stub shaft replaces Volkswagen OEM references 02Z 409 345 A and 02Z 409 345 B. Both numbers refer to the same part across different production runs.

Do I need to replace the CV joint at the same time?

If the CV joint inner race shows corresponding wear to the stub shaft splines, we recommend replacing the joint too. Contact us for advice on compatible CV joint parts.

Will this fit my VW Transporter T5?

Yes — this stub shaft fits VW Transporter T5 and Caravelle models equipped with the 02Z 5-speed manual gearbox (offside fitment only). Send us your VIN for confirmation if unsure.
