pics of the shorn shaft

[scirocco_speed@msn.com (Brandon Smith)]

I can agree with that...On my first VW, an 86' 8v Golf.  Went through 3 
driver side shafts in a 6 month period...this is why i never buy anything at 
Checker Auto...I know, but don't laugh.

Since then I have found an excellent little import only shop.
