Audi A6 Avant 1.8 Quattro

The most common symptom is a clicking or knocking noise when turning sharply at low speeds. If the sound intensifies with speed or becomes more pronounced on full lock, it is a clear sign that the outer CV joint needs replacing.

Vibrations under acceleration, particularly at speeds between 50 and 90 km/h, are often caused by a worn inner CV joint. When excessive play develops within the joint, it creates an imbalance in the drive shaft that transmits vibrations through the car's bodywork.

Yes, there can be significant differences in dimensions, spline counts and load capacities. Quattro models also feature CV joints on the rear axle, which front-wheel-drive cars lack. Always select your exact make, model and engine to ensure you receive the correct part.

Our CV joint kits are complete and ready for installation. They typically contain the CV joint itself, a model-specific CV boot, high-quality grease, circlips/clamps, and a new centre bolt or axle nut where required.

Yes, if you catch a split or crack in the CV boot early before road dirt has penetrated and damaged the joint, replacing just the boot and repacking it with fresh grease is sufficient. This is a very cost-effective preventative measure.
