Genuine VW Parts Fit Best!

• Volkswagen Type 1 (Beetle) long swing-axle applications; commonly referenced for 1968 models
• Karmann Ghia 1968 (as cataloged for long swing-axle)
• Type 3 late swing-axle applications as listed in some catalogs — verify axle length and spline style
• Left or right side; replace in matched pairs when wear is present

• Hardened shaft with OE spline and bearing journal geometry
• Direct service replacement for late swing-axle transaxles

• VW #’s / Cross-ref: 311-501-201D (long). Earlier variants include 311-501-201A/C used on different years/lengths — confirm your original length and spline before ordering.
• Catalogs vary on year/application ranges; the safest identifier is physical spec (overall length ≈719 mm) and spline style.
• When servicing, inspect companion parts (bearings, seals, spacers, fulcrum plates) and replace as needed.
