Car parts and drivetrain components for Audi A6 Avant 2.0 Tfsi. Always check the fit before ordering.
The most common symptoms are heavy vibrations under acceleration or unusual noises while driving. If you notice the car shaking even though the wheels are balanced, the drive shaft may be bent or have worn joints.
The outer CV joint sits at the wheel and produces noise when cornering. The inner CV joint sits by the gearbox and typically causes longitudinal vibrations under load.
No, there are differences depending on whether the car has a manual or automatic gearbox, and whether it is front-wheel drive or Quattro. Always select your make, model and engine to get the correct part.
Yes, if the shaft itself is straight and undamaged, you can save money by replacing just the worn CV joint. We offer both inner and outer joints as separate spare parts.
A failing propeller shaft often creates a low humming or droning noise, or vibrations felt through the entire body shell, especially at certain speeds. This is frequently caused by a worn centre bearing or universal joints.
The CV boot protects the CV joint from dirt and water. If it splits, grease escapes, lubricant is lost, and the joint wears out very quickly, leading to a more expensive replacement of the entire joint.
