Car parts and drivetrain components for Audi 100 2.6. Always check the fit before ordering.
The most common sign is a clicking noise from the front suspension when cornering sharply, such as during parking, whilst applying throttle. If the noise disappears when driving straight ahead, it is almost certainly the outer CV joint that is worn.
No, there can be differences in tooth count and inner diameter depending on the engine variant and model year. For an Audi 100 2.6, it is important to select your vehicle by make, model and engine to ensure you get a ring with the exact correct specifications.
Vibrations under acceleration are often caused by wear in the inner CV joints. If the vibrations are instead constant and increase with road speed, they may be due to unbalanced wheels or balance issues with the drive shafts.
It requires some mechanical experience and the correct tools, as the drive shaft usually needs to be detached from the gearbox. For a competent DIY mechanic with access to a sturdy jack and a socket set, it is a fully achievable job.
CV joints operate under extremely high pressure and heat. The specialist grease (often molybdenum disulphide) included in our kits is formulated to withstand these heavy loads and protect the metal surfaces from premature wear.
Our fitment guarantee means that if you select your car using our make, model and engine selector and we should unexpectedly supply a part that does not fit your Audi 100 2.6, we will help you exchange it for the correct part at no extra charge.
