Our GoWesty driveshaft for your Syncro is 100% brand-new and made in the USA. It features permanently lubricated, zero-maintenance U-joints and is precision-balanced for guaranteed smooth performance.

Fits: all 1986-91 Syncro Vanagon, and all Vanagons converted to Syncro.

Our GoWesty driveshaft (also known as a prop shaft) copies the driveshaft VW fitted to the single- and double-cab truck models. It is a much simpler design without the rubber donut and internal, wear-prone parts and vibrations that go with it. For the full rundown on the Syncro driveshaft story, check out our article on the topic. This is the driveshaft we use on all our personal Syncros here at GoWesty.

It works. It’s smooth. It’s reasonably priced! Yeah: GoWesty’s got your back!

Have vibration issues for many many months, thought it was front differential, then thought it was Transmission tail output shaft. I almost had the front differential rebuilt, but the Specialist said to me that he had experienced the same problem as I was having with my 87 Wagen syncro and it was alleviated by replacing the DRIVESHAFT with a OEM brand new DRIVESHAFT as opposed to a rebuilt. I had had my rebuilt, DRIVESHAFT balanced and rebalanced and then checked again and was told by the DRIVESHAFT SHOP that the test was perfect and the DRIVESHAFT was also. Well, as you know, I went ahead and got one of got one for you guys and now no more problem. So that’s one for the books. I guess glad you had one. Glad to have it and it was a decent price plus it saved me a $2500 rebuild. OK that’s it. That’s my comments. I’m not going to review this review. Sorry for the typos. Good luck to you folks talk to you later……

Good vibes only, works perfect. Was concerned about no rubber guibo like original but zero difference except no vibrations.

Pro tip: Length on mine was just a hair longer so loosen front diff mounting bolts and drive down the road loose for a mile or two and re-tighten. Also, I rebuilt U-Joints on my original but the joints only lasted 5k miles and wasn't worth it.

Solid is, well, solid!

This was a perfect fit. I have been running it for 10 years or so. Not having to ship in a core is a plus and allows you a spare assuming the old one was in working order still. All in all a very nice deal, and bang for buck would be hard to beat for rugged dependability and peace of mind.
