VW Golf 5/6 GTI Special Left Driveshaft – Lower More, Drive Harder, Stay Safe
Lowering your car and pushing serious power? Then you know the issue: the stock left driveshaft often rubs against the chassis or subframe under aggressive suspension setups. Our specially engineered performance driveshaft for the left side (driver’s side) solves this problem once and for all – designed for the PQ35 platform including Golf 5 GTI, Golf 6 GTI, Scirocco, Jetta, Audi A3 8P and more.
This shaft is machined from high-strength solid steel, induction hardened and precision CNC-balanced. It’s approximately 15 mm shorter than OEM and has a reduced diameter of 26 mm – giving you the clearance needed for ultra-low suspension setups without sacrificing durability.
Key Advantages:
- More clearance for lowered suspension
- Handles up to 700 Nm of torque
- Plug & Play fitment with OEM joints
- Solid steel shaft – no bending, no weakness
- Track and daily use ready
