"...having a problem with vibrations at highway speeds under load;
two VW dealers have attempted to fix the problem by replacing axles,
to no avail."
I had this problem in a 95 honda. I replaced both front axles in an attempt
to replace a CV joint that ran with a broken boot for who knows how long. So
after replacing axles AND the engine mounts I still had the problem. Bought
another RF axle. After installation it still vibrated under load.
So to prove my suspicions, I rebuilt the old OEM axles and put them on the
car. End of problem. Then contacted the manufacturer who was kind enough to
take all 3 rebuilt axles back.
So if the mechanic is replacing VW axles with aftermarket, you could be
suffering the same poor rebuilding I experienced.
Good Luck.
