Car parts and drivetrain components for Audi A4 2.4 Quattro. Always check the fit before ordering.
The most common signs are vibrations under acceleration or a clicking noise when cornering. If the CV boot is split and grease has leaked out, there is a high risk that the shaft or joint needs replacing.
The outer CV joint sits closest to the wheel and accommodates steering angles, whereas the inner joint sits closest to the gearbox or differential and manages the changes in shaft length during suspension travel.
Vibrations under load are often caused by wear in the inner CV joints or imbalance in the propeller shaft. It is important to inspect these components to prevent damage to the gearbox.
No, Quattro models use specific drive shafts that differ in length and mounting fittings compared to front-wheel-drive models. Always select your car's make, model and engine to find the right part.
A cracked ABS ring sends incorrect wheel speed signals, which can cause the ABS to pulse during normal braking or trigger the ABS and traction control warning lights.
The prop shaft itself is very durable, but its centre bearing and universal joints can wear out over time, leading to vibrations and unusual noises from the centre of the car.
