Volkswagen Bora (FAW) 2008–2016+ Front Left Drive Shaft Assembly 180407271AF

Product overview

This front drive shaft assembly, sometimes called a half shaft or CV shaft, is a steel replacement part referenced to OE numbers 180407271AF, 180407271K, 180407271AD and 180407271AA. 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.

Vehicle compatibility

Listed 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. Comparing the length and joint design of your old shaft with the product photos is a sensible extra check.

Technical specifications

Installation requirements

Drive shafts affect vehicle control and should be installed by a professional. The hub nut must be tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque, and the gearbox oil level should be checked after fitting. Inspect wheel bearings, lower ball joints and gearbox seals at the same time, and road test the vehicle to confirm there is no noise or vibration.

Fitment checks before ordering

Drive shaft length and spline count vary by engine and gearbox. Always confirm the OE number or check your VIN with us before ordering.

1 x front drive shaft assembly for the selected side. Contents as pictured/listed; hub nut and fixing hardware are not included unless stated.
