These EMPI 8mm CV bolts with 12-point internal (12-point allen / star) heads are the correct factory-replacement fasteners for stock VW Beetle, Super Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Bus, Type 3, Thing, and Vanagon IRS CV joints. If you're doing a CV joint replacement or axle rebuild on a street-driven aircooled VW, these are the bolts you need.

The 12-point internal drive head provides excellent torque transfer while keeping a low-profile design that clears the CV boot. Sold in a 6-pack — one full set for a single CV joint.
