Glad I searched before starting a new thread. I had a VW mechanic moonlight and replace my clutch on my 06 Golf TDI. Went well until about 200 miles later and 60 miles from home the flange bolts all came out and dropped the axle. Roadside I shadetree'd the bolts back in and made it home.
Now there is a vibration. With the wheels off and a screwdriver resting on the shaft while turning, there is a noticeable wobble. I assume the shaft is just junk at this point.
In reading, I see "junk" in the same sentence as "Import Direct".
So tell me guys, which route do I go for a new shaft? My former mechanic buddy had mentioned tight tolerances in regards to length and longevity when straying from OEM. Any links or help so I can order the proper one?
Thanks.
