1950-1979 Rear Axle Nut Cotter Pin N0125481 - OEM Number(s) (N0125481)
This rear axle nut cotter pin is what physically locks the axle nut in place after it’s torqued, keeping it from backing off while you drive. Without it, vibration and movement can loosen the nut over time, which can lead to wheel play, bearing damage, or worse. At 5 x 55mm, this cotter pin is the correct size for securing the rear axle nut the way Volkswagen intended. It’s cheap insurance, easy to install, and absolutely critical anytime the axle nut has been removed. Whether you’re finishing a brake job, replacing bearings, or doing a full restoration, skipping this part isn’t an option if you want to drive your VW with confidence.
