I've had good luck with rebuilt half shafts from AAB. Used a rebuilt
unit
from them on each side of the girlfriend's Saab and no issues. I would
recommend going with a rebuilt unit of some sort, whether NAPA or AAB. A
lot less hassle and, I believe, if you are good, you can squeeze it off w/o
removing the wheel, even. I say this b/c I just watched a friend remove the
driver's side axle on a B3 Passat with the wheel on. I would assume it
would be similar on A2s, but have no direct experience.
Best of luck. Keep us posted on your progress. I have to replace one
or
both of mine in the near future.

options, I'm just wanting someone to tell me to buy the axle so I don't have
to do the rebuild. I'm afraid my duct tape patch won't hold for long.
