Car parts and drivetrain components for Audi 80.
The most common symptom is a clicking or knocking sound from the front end when turning sharply, such as while parking. If the noise disappears when driving straight ahead, it is a clear sign that the outer CV joint is worn.
Vibrations under acceleration are often caused by wear in the inner CV joints or an imbalance in the drive shaft. If the vibrations stop as soon as you lift off the accelerator, the issue is very likely located in the internal drivetrain components.
No, there are often differences in drive shafts between FWD and Quattro models, as well as between different engine variants and gearboxes. Always select your Audi 80 by make, model and engine to find the exact match for your vehicle.
A very common issue on the Audi 80 is a cracked or corroded ABS ring on the CV joint. This causes the sensor to receive incorrect readings. We stock 39 different ABS rings to solve this exact problem.
Our kits are complete to make installation as straightforward as possible. They typically contain the CV joint itself, a vehicle-specific CV boot, high-quality grease, circlips, and, where required, a new centre bolt or nut.
We recommend inspecting the CV boots at every service or tyre change. An intact boot is the best protection for your CV joint; if you spot a split in time, you can avoid replacing the entire joint by simply fitting a new boot and repacking it with fresh grease.
