Rear axle,
servicing (four
wheel drive
vehicles)
Note: When removing and
installing the rear axle, it is
recommended to remove
axle and differential
together and to separate
away from the vehicle. If
only the axle beam is to be
removed and installed, the
wishbones can remain
attached to the shock
absorber. In both cases,
disconnect vacuum lines
and wiring before lowering
the assembly. Always replace self-locking
nuts and bolts. Always replace corroded
nuts and bolts. The ABS speed sensor
wiring connections are
located under the rear seat. Page 1 of 13Rear axle, servicing (four wheel drive vehicles)12/7/2004http://ebahn.bentleypublishers.com/vw/servlet/Display?action=Goto&type=repair&id=VW.B4.SU01.42.3
