What does an outer CV joint do on the Audi A4 B9 35 TDI?
The main task of the outer CV joint on an Audi A4 B9 35 TDI is transferring power from the gearbox, via a drive shaft, out to the front wheels. What makes the outer constant velocity joint unique is its ability to operate at wide steering angles while continuously rotating and driving the vehicle forward. This places demanding requirements on material selection and lubrication. Inside the joint, steel balls and precision tracks operate under high pressures. In a modern car such as the Audi A4 B9, tolerances are tight, and even slight play will degrade driving dynamics. The joint is protected by a rubber CV boot that retains the specialised grease and seals out dirt and water, which is vital for the component's service life in challenging European conditions.
Common signs of wear
Several distinct symptoms indicate that the outer CV joint on your Audi A4 B9 35 TDI is wearing out. The most typical sign is a rhythmic clicking or knocking sound heard on full steering lock at low speeds, such as during parking manoeuvres. If the noise disappears when driving straight ahead, the outer joint is almost certainly the cause. Another warning sign is vibration felt through the steering wheel during acceleration. You should also inspect the CV joint boot regularly; if it is split or leaking grease, road grit will quickly damage the precision components inside the joint. Ignoring these symptoms can ultimately lead to complete joint failure, leaving the vehicle undriveable and risking secondary damage to the front suspension.
Choosing the right outer CV joint
Finding the right outer CV joint for your Audi A4 B9 35 TDI can require care, as specifications may vary depending on the production month and equipment options. The most important step is checking the spline count (teeth) on both the outer stub shaft entering the wheel hub and the inner splines securing to the drive shaft. The diameter of the oil seal surface and whether your car uses specific ABS rings integrated into the joint also matter. To make selection straightforward, we recommend selecting your exact vehicle make, model and engine variant in our store. This filters our range down to parts verified for your car. With our fitment guarantee, you can be confident that the part you order will fit your Audi A4 B9 35 TDI without modification.

Yes, our outer CV joints are supplied as complete kits. This means you receive the joint itself, a model-specific CV boot, high-quality grease, circlips and all necessary clamps for a secure installation.
Is it difficult to replace the outer CV joint on an Audi A4 B9?
It requires a fair amount of mechanical experience and the correct tools, as the wheel hub and sections of the suspension must be dismantled. We recommend consulting the vehicle's workshop manual or having a professional garage carry out the work if you are unsure.
