Will this Axle Hardware Bundle fit my VW Bus or Vanagon, and is there a difference between 2WD and Syncro models?

This Axle Hardware Bundle is specifically designed for classic VW Buses (from 1971-1979) and 2WD Vanagons (1980-1991). If you own a Syncro (4WD Vanagon), please select the Syncro option when purchasing, as the hardware differs slightly to accommodate the Syncro's unique axle and CV joint setup. Always double-check your vehicle's year and drive type to ensure you're ordering the bundle that fits your specific VW.

What exactly is included in the Axle Hardware Bundle, and will it be enough to replace all critical fasteners for both axles?

The Axle Hardware Bundle includes all the necessary bolts, washers, and serrated lock washers needed for both axles on your VW Bus or Vanagon. This means you receive enough high-quality, OEM-style hardware to fully replace the fasteners at all CV joint connections—front and rear—on both the left and right sides. This kit eliminates the guesswork and hassle of tracking down individual pieces, ensuring you have the correct, complete set needed for a thorough and safe axle install.

Are there any tips for installing the Axle Hardware Bundle to ensure a secure and hassle-free axle installation?

When installing your new axle hardware, always clean the CV joint flange surfaces and torque the bolts to the factory specifications, following a star pattern to achieve even pressure. Use the included serrated lock washers to prevent loosening over time—a common issue on classic Buses and Vanagons. We highly recommend double-checking that you're using the proper hardware for your drive type (2WD vs. Syncro) to achieve the best fit and reliability. If you're restoring an older VW that’s seen years of use, this fresh hardware bundle is a smart choice for safety and peace of mind.

One of the axles sent was not made for an automatic and was the incorrect length. The shop who installed it had to scout out a replacement axle. Not sure what i ended up with after spending $392 to GoWesty. Slowed down the repair and i was heading out on a trip. I called before ordering to make sure i was ordering the correct cv axles. This shouldn't have happened.

Getting the hardware bundle is a great idea. Price was good and installation was easy.

Quality Fasteners

I received this set of CV fasteners, washers and the proper tool to install and torque the bolts. These are being used to secure the new DuroGreen CV boots I also received.
A+++ quality, fit and finish across the board for the lot. Looking forward to having long duration CV boots again.
Thank you Go Westy 🤙

All you need

All the one time parts needed for my Vanagon axle swap...I have a lifted camper so I changed the vw axles to Porsche non turbo 944 axles..... everything worked out great 👍
