ZF 5838.200.014 AXLE SHAFT for WG100/WG130/WG131 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 5838.200.014 AXLE SHAFT is a critical driveline component engineered for the WG100, WG130, and WG131 series transmissions. This OEM genuine part transmits torque from the differential assembly to the wheel hubs, ensuring smooth power delivery under heavy loads. As a precision-machined shaft, it interfaces directly with the 5838109007 DIFFERENTIAL and the 0750117075 TAPER ROLLER BEARING to maintain axial alignment and rotational stability. The SKU 5838.200.014 is manufactured to ZF’s original tolerances, making it a direct replacement for worn or damaged shafts in commercial vehicle transmissions.

Symptoms of Failure

• Axle oil leaks near the hub seal: When the shaft surface wears or develops grooves, the seal lip cannot maintain contact, causing transmission fluid to weep from the wheel end.
• Vibration during acceleration or deceleration: A worn axle shaft creates imbalance in the driveline, producing rhythmic shaking that intensifies under load.
• Clunking noise when shifting gears: Excessive play between the shaft splines and the 2095209019 DIFFERENTIAL side gears results in audible metallic impacts during torque reversal.
• Uneven tire wear or wheel wobble: A bent or fatigued shaft causes lateral runout, leading to premature tread degradation and steering instability.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This axle shaft is specifically designed for ZF WG-series transmissions, including the WG100, WG130, and WG131 models. It is also compatible with certain variants of the WG180 and WG200 series where the differential housing uses a 24-spline interface. Always verify the spline count and shaft length against your existing part before installation. The shaft works in conjunction with the 0631329086 SPRING PIN to secure the differential side gear, and it requires proper preload adjustment using the 5838300817 THRUST WASHER.
