Over decades of use, these stub axles can suffer from stripped inner threads due to over-torqued CV bolts, or worn outer splines caused by loose axle nuts. A damaged stub axle leads to dangerous wheel play, brake drum damage, or loose CV joints. Installing this high-quality, factory-dimension replacement restores a tight spline fit and ensures your rear suspension operates safely and quietly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eThis axle stub is sold individually and fits either the driver or passenger side of IRS-equipped Type 1 models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eDetailed Vehicle Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eVW Beetle \u0026amp; Super Beetle (IRS Models Only):\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003eVW Karmann Ghia (IRS Models Only):\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003eProduct Highlights \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"20,0,0\"\u003ePrecision Machined Splines:\u003c\/b\u003e Ensures a tight, no-slip interface with the rear brake drum, preventing the common \"stripped drum\" failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"20,1,0\"\u003eFactory Standard Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Direct original equipment (OE) replacement that perfectly matches original bearing and grease seal tolerances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"20,2,0\"\u003eSymmetrical Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Non-directional casting allows this part to be used interchangeably on either the left or right side of the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"22,0,0\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 113-501-231\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"22,1,0\"\u003eSuspension Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Independent Rear Suspension (IRS)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"22,2,0\"\u003eFlange Thread Size:\u003c\/b\u003e 8mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"22,3,0\"\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/b\u003e Sold Individually (Each)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"25\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"25,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"25,0,0\"\u003eCheck Your CV Bolt Size:\u003c\/b\u003e While 1969-1979 Type 1 models standardly used 8mm threads, some high-performance or modified cars upgrade to the larger Type 2 (Bus) CV joints which use \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"178\" data-path-to-node=\"25,0,0\"\u003e10mm bolts\u003c\/b\u003e.
