It transfers drive from the gearbox to the front wheel while allowing the suspension to move and the wheel to steer. Clicking on full lock, vibration under acceleration or a split CV boot leaking grease are common signs that a shaft needs replacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVehicle compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eListed fitment data lists the Volkswagen Bora produced by FAW-Volkswagen, covering 2008–2016 and 2016-onward versions. This is a China-market variant of the Bora, so specifications may differ from Bora or Jetta models sold in Australia and New Zealand. Engine and transmission details were not supplied. Please check your vehicle carefully before ordering, as only two listed fitment rows were provided for this shaft.
