CV Joint Bolt

Replacement CV joint securing bolt used to fasten the CV joint to the drive flange on IRS and driveshaft-equipped VW models. This bolt is essential for holding the CV joint firmly in place and maintaining a secure connection between the axle, gearbox flange, and hub assembly.

CV joint bolts work under constant load as the drivetrain moves, especially during acceleration, cornering, and suspension travel. Worn, rounded, stretched, or missing bolts can lead to vibration, clicking, loose CV joints, grease loss, or serious drivetrain failure. Replacing damaged bolts during CV joint, boot, or axle servicing is strongly recommended.

This bolt measures M8 x 48mm and is sold individually, allowing you to order the exact quantity required. Most CV joints use 6 bolts per joint. Depending on stock availability, these bolts may be supplied with either a socket head/Allen key drive or a star drive head. Please check current stock if you require a specific head type.

You may also require CV joint spreader plates, CV boots, CV grease, flange seals, or new washers when rebuilding the joint.
