OVERVIEW
Original multipoint combination hardware
N-106-872-01 is a Genuine VW/Audi M10 x 45 combination bolt with an internal multipoint drive and a washer-style bearing arrangement. The confirmed applications below use it at specific original rear-axle assembly fastening points.
Rear-axle diagrams contain several different bolt sizes and equipment branches. The original fastening point and guard/support arrangement must match; a shared M10 diameter does not establish interchangeability with another suspension fastener.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: N-106-872-01.
- Factory specification: M10 x 45 mm, internal multipoint drive.
- Design: Socket head with washer-style bearing arrangement and threaded shank.
- Quantity supplied: one individual bolt; axle components, guards, brackets and other hardware are not included.
M10 x 45 describes nominal thread diameter and fastener length. No unverified drive size, thread pitch, strength class, torque, weight or package size is assigned.
Common reasons to replace
- Damaged multipoint recess that prevents secure tool engagement.
- Damaged threads, a bent shank or an impaired bearing arrangement.
- Missing hardware or an incorrectly substituted fastener found during assembly service.
Inspect the attached component, mounting surfaces and receiving threads before replacement. A new bolt alone does not repair a damaged guard, distorted bracket or worn suspension joint.
