Car parts and drivetrain components for Volkswagen Touareg.
The most common signs are vibrations felt through the floor or centre console, often at speeds between 60 and 100 km/h, as well as abnormal noises from the centre bearing.
On many Touareg models it is technically possible, but we often recommend replacing the complete propeller shaft to ensure perfect balance and avoid future vibrations.
A clicking noise when turning is usually due to a worn outer CV joint, which is commonly caused by a split CV boot letting in dirt and moisture.
Yes, there can be differences in both length and mountings depending on whether the car has air suspension or steel coil springs. Always select your make, model and engine to find the right part.
We recommend a visual check at every service or oil change. An intact CV boot is the best preventative measure against expensive CV joint replacements.
A damaged inner CV joint causes severe vibrations during acceleration, which over time can cause damage to gearbox bearings and seals.
