Modified Axle Shaft Dust Cover Versions
Axle shafts with welding on one side are installed
since 1082 models. The transmission end shaft is
still bolted as before, while on the wee1 end the
axle shaft and drive shaft are welded.
The welded axle shaft has a different dust cover
with improved sealing. The dust cover has a bead
(arrow) and the sealing flange a groove.
Welded axle shafts con also be installed retm-
actively in older models, Bolted axle shafts on
both ends. however. cannot be installed in cars
after 1982 models on (would scrape on wheel carrier).
