I just replaced the right side cv axle on my 06 Jetta in preparation for holiday travel. Of course I forgot something:
I forgot that the axle bolt is a single use TTY bolt. I want to get on the road tomorrow. What are the odds NAPA or other parts store will carry this bolt. Is it always a dealer item? If I do find one from a parts store, can I trust it?
Secondary question: the new axle I installed made a grinding noise for the first couple minutes of driving. It went away promptly. Maybe the grease just needed to get distributed. Anybody ever hear of this? I've not encountered this before. It is a new VW OEM axle.
