Find the right outer CV joint for your Audi Q2 SUV. Our range covers front-wheel drive petrol models including 1.4 TSI and 35 TFSI from 2016 onwards. Select your vehicle's make, model...
The Audi Q2 is a compact SUV combining agile handling with Audi's renowned engineering. To maintain the precise driving dynamics and smooth power delivery the car is known for, every drivetrain component must function faultlessly. The outer CV joint is one of the most heavily stressed parts, constantly handling engine torque alongside steering articulation angles. We supply model-specific outer constant velocity joints selected to meet the exact technical requirements of your Audi Q2, from early production models to the latest variants. We focus on parts manufactured to the same high standards as original equipment to guarantee long service life.
The primary task of an outer CV joint is to transmit power from the gearbox, via an Audi Q2 drive shaft, to the front wheels. What distinguishes the outer joint from the inner joint is its ability to operate at wide steering angles. Because the front wheels on your Audi Q2 both steer and propel the vehicle, the joint must rotate smoothly even on full lock. This continuous articulation demands exceptional material quality and grease lubrication, as the slightest play or friction quickly results in front-end noises and reduced handling precision. Without a functioning outer joint, power cannot reach the driven wheels reliably.
The classic symptom of a worn outer CV joint on your Audi Q2 is a rhythmic clicking or knocking sound that becomes pronounced during sharp turns at low speeds. This is frequently caused by lubricating grease escaping from a torn CV boot, allowing grit and moisture into the joint. If you experience steering wheel vibration under acceleration or spot grease flung across the inside of the wheel rim, it is time to inspect the joint. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to total mechanical failure, rendering the car undriveable and risking secondary damage to adjacent suspension components.
Choosing the correct replacement part for an Audi Q2 requires checking specific technical variations, as specifications differ between engine outputs, gearbox types and front-wheel drive or Quattro four-wheel drive configurations. It is crucial to verify the spline count on both the shaft and wheel sides, as well as whether your vehicle requires an integrated ABS reluctor ring. To ensure an exact match, select your Audi Q2 make, model and engine variant in our catalogue. This filters our range to components engineered for your exact drivetrain specification, preventing incorrect purchases and unnecessary returns.
You may also wish to check these exact pages for the same vehicle when working on the outer CV joint:
When one drivetrain component shows signs of wear, related parts often require attention too. By comparing these exact pages for the Audi Q2, it becomes much easier to determine whether an issue lies with the outer CV joint itself or an adjoining component in the transmission line.
This is especially important on vehicles where vibrations, play and unwanted noises can travel between several parts of the same drivetrain. A quick check of related categories minimises the risk of replacing one correct part while overlooking an adjacent component contributing to the problem.

The most common symptom is a clicking noise when turning, especially when accelerating at low speeds. You should also check whether the CV boot is split or if there is grease splattered across the wheel rim.
Yes, if you catch a split boot early before dirt and grit have entered to damage the joint itself, replacing the boot and repacking it with fresh grease may be sufficient.
No, specifications differ depending on the engine size and whether the car is front-wheel drive or Quattro. Always select your make, model and engine to find the correct part.
A damaged CV joint can eventually fail completely, meaning power will no longer be transmitted to the wheel and you will be stranded. It can also cause severe damage to the drive shaft and wheel hub.
Yes, our outer CV joints are normally supplied as complete kits containing the joint, CV boot, grease, clamps, and where required, a new centre bolt or axle nut.
