Volkswagen Golf

A clicking sound when turning is usually caused by a worn outer CV joint. When the internal components wear out or dirt penetrates the joint, this characteristic noise occurs. It is recommended to replace the constant velocity joint as soon as possible to prevent complete failure.

If you experience severe vibrations, or if the shaft itself has suffered an impact or heavy corrosion, it is best to replace the complete drive shaft. If the issue is simply a clicking noise while cornering and the shaft is otherwise in good condition, replacing just the outer CV joint is usually sufficient.

No, there are significant differences depending on engine size, gearbox type (manual or DSG) and whether the car is front-wheel drive or equipped with 4Motion. Always select your car's make, model and engine on cvjoint24.com to find the exact matching part.

If a CV boot splits, grease escapes and dirt enters the CV joint. This causes the joint to wear out very quickly. By replacing a split boot promptly, you can save significant repair costs by avoiding having to replace the entire constant velocity joint later.

Yes, this is very common. On many Golf models, an ABS ring is mounted directly on the CV joint. If this ring cracks or becomes heavily corroded, the sensor cannot read the wheel speed accurately, which triggers the ABS warning light.

Vibrations during acceleration are often caused by wear in the inner CV joints located nearest to the gearbox. It can also stem from an unbalanced drive shaft, or issues with the propeller shaft if your car is a 4Motion model.
