Car parts and drivetrain components for Volkswagen Passat 3.2 FSI 4MOTION. Always check the fit before ordering.
The most common signs are vibrations during acceleration or knocking noises when turning. If you notice an imbalance in the car that worsens with speed, you should inspect both the drive shafts and the propeller shaft.
No, the 3.2 FSI 4MOTION uses specific CV joints engineered to handle higher torque and the demands of all-wheel drive. Always select your car's make, model and engine to find the correct part.
The outer CV joint sits at the wheel hub and allows for steering, whilst the inner joint sits at the gearbox or differential and primarily accommodates suspension movement and power delivery.
This is often caused by wear in the inner CV joints. On 4MOTION models, it can also be due to an imbalance in the propeller shaft or a worn centre bearing.
Yes, our CV joints are supplied as complete kits including the CV boot, grease, clamps and fitting hardware to ensure a straightforward and proper replacement.
We recommend a visual inspection at every service. Pay close attention to cracks in rubber mountings or play in the centre bearing to avoid more serious driveline failures.
