Hello again all,
I'm having significant difficulty replacing the right-front axle on my 84 4ksq. Is it absolutely necessary to use the locking plates (431 407 357)on the boot caps for rebuilt axles? I can't find a re-built with a flat [boot] cap and the lock plates simply ride up un the raised sections of the cap. I won't experiment with trying to tourque down the bolts...it just won't work. Does Audi/VW sell any "newer" lock plates that actually fit over the raised sections on the boot cap? I'm really at wits end here folks.
TIA for you input...
Regards,
George B.
