Volkswagen Carat B2 1.6

The most common sign is grease splattered across the inside of the wheel rim or around the wheel arch. You can also visually inspect the boot; if you see cracks, splits or tears in the rubber, it must be replaced immediately to protect the CV joint.

If you catch the issue early and the CV joint has not started making noises, it is usually enough to replace the boot and repack it with fresh grease. If the joint has already started clicking while cornering, it is likely worn or damaged and should be replaced.

Selecting your exact make, model and engine variant helps us identify the precise version of the Volkswagen Carat B2 1.6 you drive. Dimensions and spline counts can vary depending on the production month and equipment, so verifying your specifications prevents ordering the wrong parts.

A worn inner CV joint typically produces vibrations through the car's body during acceleration, unlike the outer joint which primarily clicks when turning. The vibrations often feel like a wheel imbalance that disappears when you lift off the accelerator.

Even though certain parts may look identical, the Carat B2 features a specific setup. We advise against guessing; instead, filter by make, model and engine to find parts guaranteed to be compatible with your exact 1.6 model.

We aim for fast dispatch on all stocked parts from our Swedish warehouse. If you place your order during business hours on a weekday, your car parts are typically dispatched promptly so you receive them across the EU as quickly as possible.
