ZF 5838.200.084 AXLE SHAFT for WG100/WG130/WG131 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 5838.200.084 AXLE SHAFT is a critical drivetrain component engineered for the WG100, WG130, and WG131 series transmissions. This OEM genuine part transmits rotational torque from the differential assembly directly to the wheel hubs, ensuring precise power distribution under heavy loads. As a hardened steel shaft, it interfaces with the 5838109019 DIFFERENTIAL and the 0750117075 TAPER ROLLER BEARING to maintain axial alignment and reduce friction. The SKU 5838.200.084 is machined to exact OEM tolerances, making it a direct replacement for worn or damaged axle shafts in ZF final drives.

Symptoms of Failure

• Axle shaft oil leaks near wheel seal: When the shaft surface wears or develops grooves, the seal fails, causing gear oil to weep onto brake components.
• Clunking noise during acceleration or deceleration: Excessive spline wear or shaft fatigue produces a metallic knocking sound, especially when engaging the 2093209024 DIFFERENTIAL.
• Vibration at highway speeds: A bent or unbalanced axle shaft creates rhythmic shaking that worsens with load, often misdiagnosed as tire imbalance.
• Difficulty engaging or disengaging power take-off: Spline deformation prevents smooth torque transfer, leading to intermittent drive loss.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This axle shaft is designed for ZF WG-series transmissions, specifically the WG100, WG130, and WG131 models. It also fits select WG180 and WG200 variants where the final drive uses a 24-spline differential. Always verify the 0631329088 SPRING PIN alignment during installation to prevent cross-threading. For WG200 applications, confirm the housing clearance matches the 385 mm shaft length.
