Sway-A-Way standard upgrade-length axle in the high-performance Volkswagen IRS family. Engineered specifically to solve the common issue of CV joint failure in modified Volkswagens. Whether you are building a street-performance Beetle or a weekend woods buggy, these axles provide the durability needed for higher-than-stock torque loads.

Performance & Fitment

• Spline: 33-Tooth (1.062" OD, 2 3/8" spline length)

Premium Construction

• Material: Forged from solid high-strength alloy steel, offering significantly higher yield strength than OEM factory axles
• Floating Spline Design: 2 3/8" extended spline without a fixed shoulder allows the CV joint to float along the shaft
• CV Protection: Allowing the joint to float accommodates the natural change in distance between the transaxle and the hub as the suspension moves, preventing the CV cage from being shattered during heavy compression or full extension
• Heat Treatment: Through-hardened for surface durability and torsional flexibility
• Finish: Centerless ground and powder-coated for maximum corrosion resistance

What's Included

• Pair of VW IRS axles
• Spirol Lock circlips to secure the CV joint
