That is because I missed telling you another part of this story.Ed Lijewski wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 7:07 pmAbove you note the failure you disassembled is an APWI unit (?).Anyway, I just went through my rockauto orders and I have TRAKMOTIVE VW8063 (right) and TRAKMOTIVE VW8045 (left)
That was in early 2018.
YMMV
A month or so after I got back from Carlisle I noticed a slight clicking in the right rear axle. I had my brother get into the car and with his weight on that side the noise went away. But if I drove by myself the noise was there.
Given your recent failure and fear of mine failing I ordered and installed the APWI axle. I was also worried that my mechanic would fail it for inspection.
So this APWI axle that failed has less the 100 miles on it.
But is it a true failure? Nothing is broken here. It just "dis-located"
Ed - have all your failures been on the outer CV?
