So I goto the dealer to get some replacement stretch bolts for the transmission end of the axle on the drivers side. I order up 6. Then the parts guy tells me that they aren't stretch bolts. Everywhere I've read for DIY's, forums here and there, etc talk about them being stretch bolts and they should be replaced. Can anyone really confirm or deny this statement? He even went so far as to say that they didn't need to be replaced with new ones. They were cheap enough so that's not an issue.
Oh, I've read some just replace the axle. Have you had any experience with non-OEM/EMPI/OPparts as replacements for stock GTIs?
