Car parts and drivetrain components for Audi A6 2.7 TDI. Always check the fit before ordering.
The most common symptoms are pronounced vibrations under acceleration or a persistent knocking noise. If the vibrations can be felt through the entire car and worsen under load, it is usually time to inspect the drive shafts.
Yes, provided the shaft itself is undamaged and vibrations only appear when cornering, replacing just the outer CV joint is often sufficient. We supply complete kits with joint, CV boot and grease.
Vibrations under acceleration are frequently caused by wear in the inner CV joint. As the joint wears, play develops that prevents the shaft from rotating centrally under load, creating an imbalance.
This varies by part number. Always select your car's make, model and engine to ensure you receive a part specifically tailored to your vehicle's gearbox type.
Our CV joint kits are complete and typically contain the joint itself, a vehicle-specific CV boot, high-grade grease, circlips and, where required, a new centre bolt.
It requires some mechanical experience and the correct tools, such as sockets for the centre bolt and a torque wrench. For a confident DIY mechanic, it is a fully manageable job.
